I don't know what's in it, just like I don't know what the recipe for Coca
Cola is, but they're both older than the hills and I like 'em both. I drink
the coke and my old LBC's drink the Mystery oil. I think however, that the
Mystery Oil is better for my car than the cola is for my body. Recently, I
used the stuff in both my gas tank and in the engine oil. Before I tried it
in the sump, I reported here that I had some intermittent smoke coming out
of the tailpipe on deceleration on the freeway. I was also running rich. I
can't credit the MMO for stopping the smoke, since it may have had something
to do with the viscosity of the oil I was using (10w40) and running rich,
but since using the MMO, switching to 20w50 and leaning out my Weber, I have
NO smoke under ANY running condition now.
The product I'M most curious about is RESTORE. I don't need to use any, so
I won't, but everything I've heard about this product is praise.
Purportedly restores compression, stops smoking, etc. I mean, in several
auto parts stores, I have heard nothing but unanimous praise for RESTORE
whenever I point to the shelf brimming with additives and ask "does any of
this stuff actually WORK?"
