Yeah, I confess, I occasionally use it. Why? Because Dad did. Like he used to say, "If a little will do good, a lot will do better." And sometimes when I was helping him, he would become impatient with me and say, "Son, do something even if it is wrong."

He was an old farmer turned mechanic because of the loss of farm ground and had worked on everything from steam threshing machines to river barge engines. A dose of Marvel Myster Oil went in the gas tank with every oil change. It was just part and parcel with the procedure. I still smell it in the exhaust of my old '55 Chevey. The last engine he rebuilt in 1989 when he was 79 years old was the engine in my Cobra now.

As far as I am concerned if he liked Marvel Mystery Oil, it's gotta be good. Besides I just enjoy thinking of him every time I put a can of the stuff in.
