I was having weird results with my engine oil analysis and was using Marvel Mystery Oil. To eliminate a variable, Blackstone offered to run a free analysis on MMO if I sent them a sample. I did and subsequently received the results. If someone can tell me how to post I will.
Basically, the only thing it had in it (via their analysis) is phosphorus. The viscosity was 2.6 cSt. However, what concerned me most was the flashpoint of 160 degrees Fahrenheit. Basically, when added to oil this is just evaporating at operating temperature.
So I have come to the conclusion that MMO is fantastic for gas. However, I am only going to run it in my oil on occasion for a few hundred miles before an oil change to "clean things up." I just do not feel it is good to run all of the time with a low flash point and so many solvents.
Does anyone have any thoughts?
