Cleaning out the garage I found a 20 year old can of Marvel Mystery Oil. It was still full. I thought it would be rusted/stuck closed but it opened right up with no problems. I also had a brand new plastic bottle. I smelled them and they both smell completely different. The old MMO is much darker red and smells very strong, very concentrated. The new stuff looks like it's watered down and has the color of transmission fluid.
Thinking back to the first time I ever used it, about 20 years ago, I thought it was dark red. The last time I used it a few years ago I thought it looked lighter and more watery. Now that I found this old container it proves my memory.
I poured a little of each into a container and the old stuff is thicker too.
