I must sing its praises as an upper end engine lubricant and cleaner. 
When I bought my '66 Monza last September it had barely been used or 
maintained over the past 5-10 years. Needless to say it ran very poorly. 
It smoked, clattered, pinged, rattled and ran awfully.

Using Marvel Mystery Oil in the crankcase and the as a fuel additive 
really made a difference. The engine's smoking and clattering 
disappeared and after a tuneup, the car ran much, much better. 
Particularly as I only run short distances on this island, I add some 
every so often to help lubricate the valves.

I've also used it in my Land Rovers to quiet tappet noise. It's a simple 
but effective product. There are probably others that work as well, but 
this is one whose success I have experienced.
