as a car guy, i just have to say that it is SO convenient to see almost every major additive, oil, tools, and etc instead of having to find multiple people's videos. also gotta compliment the tedious testing to make a fair comparison. thank you for your effort.
You are welcome!
@@ProjectFarm I just discovered you. I'm a retired trucker. Lucas has a big following with the truckers. How does Amsoil compare? I've heard both good and bad. Specially curious Lucas VS Amsoil
@@roguedalek900 My first experience with Lucas was with a Freightliner FLD120 with a Series 60 430. I found a gallon bottle of their fuel additive in a truck stop and thought I would try it. It made a huge difference in the way it ran. Since then I've put it in everything I own from pickups, too lawn mowers. It's great stuff!
Its been 2 years, i was your 1,000th thumbs up. Ill always find project farm useful
@@skie6282 I appreciate you making my comment pass the thousand mark haha
Twice I have bought products he has recommended. Both times I found he was dead on and am very pleased with my purchases. He is doing the heavy lifting for us using talents many of us don’t have. Thank’s, pal. You are appreciated.
Thanks so much! Glad to hear!
Curious…which products did you purchase? Amsoil?
@@kylebell2365 one was a jump starter heavy duty enough to start my Dodge Ram diesel truck. The other was a heavy duty air compressor from Harbor Freight. It will fill a car tire in about 2 minutes.
Yep. Good ole American, right there. He's gifted with his fair and balanced approach as well as he understands what he's doing.
Very grateful.
It's crazy how you still answer ppls comments. Alot of big youtubers never do thanks man
You are welcome!
@@ProjectFarm yeah! youre a class act brother!
I am 59 when I was 17 I had a 76 trans am with a 400 engine in it . The lifters would start making a loud clattering sound. And I was told to put marvel mystery oil in my oil when I changed it, and it would literally take the sound away. So I know from experience 100% that marvel mystery oil works and it’s been around for a very long time. PS thanks for all the videos that you do. You are very informative and I greatly appreciate them.
Yeah man, I’m old school, been using MMO for 50+years. My 350 El Camino had some tapping so I had engine running controlling carb and poured MMO into carb raising idle speed, voila!, tapping stopped👍👍👍👍
Is it weird to say I wish this guy was my dad growing up? He seems like the type of guy to want to teach his son everything he knows, wish I had that.
Thank you for the positive comment. I'm not a perfect dad but I am definitely passing along my knowledge to me 3 children.
Project Farm that’s awesome and Love the channel. Cheers
Mine passed along all he could teach me from around 8 years old until he passed when I was 19,he'd always say nothing like a shade tree mechanic lol
Totally feel ya...wish I had that growing up, too! But I taught myself a lot of things and learned a lot from others and I WILL pass along my knowledge to my son... will be a better dad to him than my "dad" ever could've been!
Wrong channel think ur looking for the Dr.phil section ...lol jk
I met an older gentleman in the auto section of Walmart the other day. He asked me if I had any opinions on seafoam or marvel mystery oil. I immediately told him about this channel and he asked me to show him the video on his phone. Needless to say, he loved the video and appreciated all of the hard work that went into it. Thank you project farm!
You are welcome! Thanks for sharing the channel!
so which did he choose?!
@@jimbrown9885 he ended up going with MMO
Haha might be me
I always send people to this channel. I don’t comment much but watch all of them. 👍🏻
Project Farm is a gem. The attention to detail is so satisfying and rewarding as a viewer. Please keep doing these because we will all keep supporting!
Thanks, will do!
Been using mmo for years now in my 06 jetta 2.5 .i took off the valve cover to change the gasket @ 215k miles and was surprised to see how new the internals looked with no gunk buildup whatsoever
Impressive!
Very interesting. I cannot figure out if you used it in the motor oil. Because that would describe the cleanliness under the valve cover.
That and frequent oil changes.
Is that what you did? Into the oil and how much did you use?
How often you use it?
My dad used MMO all the time back in the day. If he didn't have any he ran transmission fluid through the carb and after killing lots of skeeters the truck ran better. My dad could build motors in the dark. He said all feel of the parts. I miss my dad
Thanks for commenting and sorry for the loss of your dad.
speterbilt i know the feeling. Many of the real Motörhead's are passing. We have to replace them and make them proud, go out and get a classic car to rebuild. I'm currently working on a 65'

'could build motors in the dark'. Had lots of cars and trucks and raced many dirt bikes. Never had to rebuild one. Then again I don't use any of this stuff.

4 years after this video was made... My man, you have come a long way. You’re so much more confident and able to be yourself, which we love. You have a great personality. Your testing methods have greatly improved also. The quality of your videos has improved as well. In the newer videos, you just seem more relaxed and not nervous at all. I might start a YT channel and am already nervous and anxious about it, so I understand. It’s awesome to see how far you have come! 👍
Thanks so much!
Yes you have.
100% agree.. And Todd giving his opinion at the end of the videos is very helpful 'cause sometimes I don't pay close attention but I always want the results.. If you want to see something real funny,, go way back to AvE's first videos...
While this comment doesn’t apply directly to this video, I admit to feeling weird when I go to a store and think “ wait a minute “ and look up your videos to get the best products! You do great videos and take a lot of guess work out of the equation. Sometimes I don’t like the outcome, but my bias gets me nowhere, your tests do.
Thanks for sharing!
I do the same thing. It’s almost like finding an old record or CD and Googling for a review. Educated choices on the spot!
Can’t express enough how much I learn from and enjoy these videos! It’s nice to avoid mistakes and be able to make an educated purchase the 1st time because he spent money on junk so I didn’t have too! I’m always so impressed with how thorough he is with making things fair and equal and his ingenuity is impressive! Thanks again my friend!
You are welcome!
Man, I love this guys channel. He's so genuine and I love the way he explains things. A total guys channel, I love it!
Thanks so much!
I agree, I love project farm.. I love his videos, unlike Scotty killer. That dude's an idiot. Thanks project farm for EVERY VIDEO
@@Busabangin Scotty cool man he just be doin a little bit of nose candy. He ain't no Chester!

Thank you for this recommendation!
this is a killer idea!
Project Farm please do this
Almost fifty years ago a mechanic told me to put 2 tbsps of MMO in the radiator, that it will extend the life of the water pump seals and gaskets. Since then, I've never had a water pump problem with any car I've owned.
Proj
Your videos have improved in such a huge way.
It's fun to go back and see where you started.
Keep up the fantastic work.
You TRULY make people's lives better. 👍👍
Thanks, will do!
I've never heard of the term "hot soaking" engines before nor did I know you could put the mystery oil into the spark plug chamber. I learn a lot of new things by watching your videos and I appreciate them!
Thanks!
yes its common with cleaning additives. Word of caution --use only enough to get the piston covered and tilt the mower upwards (only on push mower) make sure to make a few pulls on the engine with the spark plug removed before putting the plug back in. This will prevent hydrashocking the engine.
I learned the guy has the body of a wimp and couldn't start the lawn mower when a girl in elementary school could on the first pull of the cord.
Damn! This channel is getting very consistent on content publication.
It's so nice to see a channel growing with clean videos without obnoxious soundtrack, without excessively happy-hyperactive speech and well paused sentences. 😀👍
Thank you very much for the positive comments! I'll keep at it trying to improve the quality and content! Thanks again!
This.
Ti M Fully agreed, and i appreciate the fast forwards as well!!!!
and he replies to suggestions
Devon Johns Truth, but once the channel gets too big, it's going to be harder to follow the comments. It happens.
I submerged my whole Toro lawnmower in a MMO treated tank. After draining all of the liquid out of the tank, I pulled out the lawnmower and it had transformed into a Honda lawnmower! Great product!!!
Thanks for sharing.
Mysterious indeed.
I had a 2000 gmc truck that had a sticky lifter.. and would make a ticking sound when started cold” I drained out half a quart of oil. Then put half a quart of mmo in it and ran it around for a day. . No more sticky lifter” then changed the oil . No more problem. I know add a couple cap fulls of it to my gas once a month and put 6 ounces in and run for a day before I change my oil” it’s a mystery that works for me
@@billylongley9580 my Dad used mm oil in engine And i have carried on the tradition for 72 years. The mm oil never let us down.
@anonymous probably manifold leak mabie from a broken manifold bolt
youve come along way with your videos and i appreciate all the hard work you do with your test rigs and the time you spend on experiments for products. i really thank you for not taking any products from manufactures so that way you can be 100% honest about the result. because of your sea foam vid back in the day, i started using it and have been using it since. thank you.
usually when i have a question about something i may buy, i check your vids to see if you reviewed it so i can look at honest results. i hope you stay free from manufactures and do your own thing your own way. youve helped alot of people thru the years and hope will continue to do so for many more years to come. thank you again.
Marvel Mystery Oil works wonders!
I have been using it on my 2003 Acura MDX Tech since I was 16.
5 years later at 260,000 miles, the engine purs and runs flawlessly.
I have also been getting fairly clear oil at changes!
Clearer than when I had bought the truck at 110k miles!
Thanks for sharing.
A 2003 Acura isn’t a truck dude 😆
I learned from my father to use marvel to free up rings before putting fire (ignition) to an engine that has been sitting for a while. Used it to free up a seized ford 302 that had been sitting for over 13 years by putting in every spark plug hole and allowing to sit a few days. Next turn by hand to free up and spin with starter once it spins freely. Finally put plugs back in and smoke out the mosquitoes in the neighborhood. Compression was nice and even 150 psi.
im about to do this with a 302 volvo penta. I put engine restore and lub in the oil and it SIGNIFICANTLY changed compression. Now I will soak everything in MMO. This thing was running when I bought it
I’ve put MMO in a seized jetski motor and let it sit for 24 hours and then was able to turn it by hand.
I watch another channel on yt called Jennings motor sports. That guy uses Marv mystery oil for that same purpose. The guy has a good channel.
ATF works pretty good too. I prefer wiping engines down with ATF if they are going to be on the engine stand for awhile. No rust or scale.
Diesel fuel through sparkplug holes is another great way of freeing up a frozen engine. Fill and walk away for a few days.
It works every time.
Turn it over with a socket and long bleaker bar on the front crank bolt at the harmonic ballancer.
Leave the sparkplugs out and work the bleaker bar back and forth.
True story: I used to put MM Oil in a 1995 Toyota Camry that I had years ago. I would pour about 3/4 of it into the engine and the remaining 1/4 into the fuel tank. At one point in my life I was driving cross state lines about once every other month on weekends and during the Christmas holidays to visit my daughter back when she still a little girl in the early 2000s after I got divorced. At some point, I developed a crack in one the piston heads and the mechanic told me that even though he was amazed that I managed to break a Toyota engine, he was more surprised by how clean it was on the inside of the motor as he tore it down. He said usually he sees a lot of carbon build up but on the inside of my motor it was fairly clean with very little build up. So I give MM Oil a thumbs up!
I give YOU a thumbs up for making the haul to see your daughter.
Did you put it in the engine every time you did an oil change?
Maybe it caused it to crack
@@gameonyolo1 was thinking the same thing lol.
@@gameonyolo1 it wouldn't cause a crack, probably a factory defect
Marvel Mystery Oil was a must have in the 100LL fuel in my aircraft. It top end lubricates wonderfully. Just don't add too much because it does lower the fuel octane. Each wing tank was 70 gallons usable fuel and I would add one ounce per gallon. It at least doubled the life of my intake valves and lifters. Cold weather operations improved greatly.
Gasoline is a solvent.
Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you for sharing
_"Marvel Mystery Oil was a must have in the 100LL fuel in my aircraft."_
That's illegal in certified aircraft.
I did see the review were a governmental agency linked mmo to a crash. A one time event linkage does not seem like good science to me and mmo does have a history of aircraft usage back to WWII. You are spot on saying that it is forbidden by government and manufactures in aircraft, it is also deemed not necessary by automotive manufactures. None of that means to me that it does not work.
@@perrydickerson9055
Gasoline is a solvent.
All gasoline internal combustion engines need top end lubrication.
I also run Alcor TCP to eliminate exhaust carbon buildup.
My compliments on how well your channel has grown and how you have grown in knowledge and in the sophistication in your testing! Congratulations I always enjoy your content!
It's fun seeing these old videos and how confident he's got in front of the camera since then.
I have no idea why anyone would dislike these wonderful videos.
Thank you!
There's no shortage of morons in this world !!!
Lol..probably environmentalist that want only electric motors..oh wait..something has to generate electricity lol
I just subscribed,, due to the effort put into comparing. I am literally sitting in a Target, deciding because they don't carry MMO, only Seafoam. Your test and the comments helped me to decide what I already know. Go with the MMO.
Thanks for watching and subscribing! Glad I could help!
MMO price has gone up since this video but it's still worth every penny.
Thanks for the feedback.
And not stocked anymore. They go out of business?
@@teamdada2194 no

Its great to see a YT creator who spends so much time not only on the videos
but responding to comments! Project Farm is a wonderfully useful channel
that I have enjoyed watching immensely.
Thanks so much!
If you remove carbon buildup from the combustion chamber that will lower the compression ratio and lower the compression reading that you get. The idea is to remove the carbon that could potentially cause pre ignition and that's what marvel did.
Pretty much exactly what I posted just now before reading your comment. Glad to see there's somebody here that knows what they're talking about.
However, if the rings are stuck, then if MMO makes them start working again, then the compression would go up. So, unless this engine had stuck rings, I don't think MMO will increase compression.
Flat head engine designs are a bit more about Combustion chamber shapes ( which includes both the piston & the cylinder head. Vs just a bit higher or lower compression ratio. A leak down test would have been much more accurate to define ring seal, than a cranking compression test that might be effected by carbon buildup or removing of said build up.
Best way to measure the engines sealing efficiency is always a Leak Down test. Professional racers leak engs much more often than doing a cranking compression test. Good video. Ive only used Marvel on older engines & flat heads. & used Seafood on later model stuff & overhead valve designs. Thats what works for us.
Compression ratio doesn't change with carbon deposits because it is a measure of MAX volume to MIN volume. As the max volume is reduced exactly as much as the min volume by carbon deposits, the ratio doesn't change.
Compression testing is really measuring ring and valve seal more than it is compression ratio.
But he used two different lawn mowers...one motor had more compression than the other.....now if u find a small engine with a stuck ring..and see which one will remove more of the carbon
I love your videos and the fact that you are so unbiased and truthful in a world of deceit makes number one!!!!!!!
Thanks so much!
My dad bought a brand new chevy pickup with 305 V8 in 1978 & used a small amount of Marvel's Mystery oil every so often, he drove it well over 20 years, & put a couple of hundred thousand miles on it, then i drove it a couple of years adding more miles, and drove it hard, when we sold it it was running quiet & smooth as a champ....
Thanks for sharing.

Too much time on his hands.....
I used to find junk,non running mowers as a 12 yr old poor kid and tought myself how to fix with what I had available. I'm still proud of myself considering where n how I lived. No mentor or dad figure in my life, EVER!!
I never heard of Mystery Oil before until I heard it being used on a very old motor. I do use Seafoam in my vehicles but with this video, I think I am going to try Mystery Oil. It seems it did a better job cleaning the motor than Seafoam did. Very good video of comparing two major products.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I love your shows. It super cool that you pay for your own stuff to post for others. The fact that you do this alone is reason to watch them. I watch the series on Amsoil car oil vs other synthetics. I was so impressed that I shared the link with an Amsoil rep out of Caldwell ID. Thanks and keep up the great work. Please.
Thanks and you are welcome!
I'm new. I didn't have anyone to teach me about cars growing up. Just bought a Ram 1500 and was trying to do work on it myself. You answered a bunch of questions I had. Thank you for making this video!!
You are welcome!
I love your videos, but maybe when you do the before/after pictures, you could do side by side pictures instead of one after the other? I'm sure I can't be the only one that likes to see comparisons side by side. Anyways great videos, I've used a couple of them for projects and your language is dummy proof haha
Great recommendation! Thank you
absolutely....I open two windows of the video to get the side by side...very important to making a comparison

Had to say I am impressed with the cleanliness of the intake valve by MMO. Just wow!
Thanks for the feedback.
I thought MM oil looking at the engine.
Pretty sure that was the exhaust valve (exhaust is usually smaller than intake) but ya, clean as a whistle!
I've been going back and watching a bunch of your earlier videos, and I think this is the one where your million dollar tag line was born. "Let's find out"!
BRILLIANT!
Thanks so much!
Thanks for being our big brother and always testing out these awesome products!
I have used Marvel Mystery Oil and Sea Foam for many years (20+). My opinion is that I use both at the same time mainly in my gasoline. I take care of my equipment and it does the job for me. I look at the overall picture. If it keeps me out of the repair shop and my equipment runs great it's worth it to me. I have John Deer lawn tractors that are 30+ years old. Stihl farm boss that I purchased new in 1986 and has cut many tons of firewood. I have never had any internal engine overhauls. Am I silly for using both, maybe so.
Thanks and keep all the videos coming. Ken
In my years of wrenching I can say Marvel Mystery Oil is legit! It even works in air brake systems when they get dried out and don't want to work. Its saved my ass hundreds of times.
Do you pour some in the air lines ?
@@amirabelardo8203 Yeah, I'd like to know also. Where do you pour it? Where the air brake line hooks up to the Peterbilt on the back?

@@ratagris21 absolutely. I try to spend my money as wisely as I can so I can buy new tools and stuff instead of replacing so much
You used a different type of spark plug with the Seafoam than you did with the Marvel Mystery Oil but I believe from what I can see that the Marvel mystery oil did a better job decarbonizing the top of the piston and the valves than the Seafoam did.
Probably 16 years or more ago this girlfriend that I had she drove a Honda Prelude and it had a cracked cylinder head when I met her and I opened it up slightly with a cut off wheel on a Dremel and then I pushed JB Weld in with a syringe and then I smoothed it all out after it hardened and reinstalled the cylinder head she drove it for another 5 1/2 years after that and she did not retire the car because of any problems with the cylinder head or engine but just wanted to get another car and sold that car that did not smoke!

A personal testimonial for Marvel Mystery Oil. I grew up working in a family owned and managed General Aviation FBO (Fixed Base Operation) in the Midwest. We had a certified maintenance shop, sold fuels, aircraft sales and training, aircraft rental, air charter, etc.
One of our customers had a beautiful 1969 Piper Turbo Twin Comanche with 160 HP Lycoming air cooled, fuel injected 4 cylinder engines. He religiously added MMO to each fuel tank at top off and at 600 hours past TBO (Time Between Overhaul) the compression on all 8 cylinders was at the new, just broken in specification!
Thank you!
That's why the germans hated it in ww2
Lycomings were bad for valve sticking. Used to see bent pushrod tubes. MMO was a life saver. Literally. Don't want a sticking valve at 10,000 over a city
I have spent my life in aviation too, Bradford. Many years as a flight instructor them a career as an airline pilot. In the 1970s I gave a Biennial Flight Review to a man in his personal Cessna 175 Skylark. I'm sure you know what a poor maintenance reputation the Continental GO-300 in the 175 had. The owner told me that he did frequent oil analysis tests because of the poor reputation of the engine. At first the analysis tests reported concerning metal content, but an "old" A&P recommended 10% MMO in the engine oil. He claimed that all oil tests after beginning to use MMO reported no concerning levels of metal.
I have been using 10% MMO in my car engines since. My 1999 Jeep Cherokee, with the 4.0L 6cyl (a bulletproof engine anyway), last September (2018) pulled a 3600 lb trailer 2000 miles at highway speeds from MN to into mountainous AZ with no issue, and averaging 15.1 mpg. The odometer turned over 252,000 miles as I backed the trailer into my garage. Since that Biennial Flight Review, all of my vehicles have easily exceeded 200K, and I credit it to two things: MMO and Castrol Synthetic oils.
@@WGVanDyck
WOW! That's impressive, I think I'll give it a shot in my 2013 Kia Forte, runs great no issues 85K miles. Guess 10% MMO every oil change can't hurt:)
I really enjoy watching your videos, you do a phenomenal work editing, testing and explaining . You look very sincere and polite. Please keep up the great work.

Wish car talk was still around to interview you. I really think you and Tom would have done great work together on all his MG's. Keep up the good work.
Thanks!
Love that show. Those guys were hilarious.
I was surprised. I use both products and I just figured the SeaFoam would out perform the "old" Marvel Mystery Oil but to my eyes it did as well if not better for WAY cheaper. Great Test!
Thank you!
Interesting test. Actually I have used both products Marvel Mystery Oil for a much longer period of time (35+years). I mix and have been for nearly all that time MMO in my gas can when I fill it. I’ll also add a small amount to my fuel tank at various times of the season but I definitely use it directly in the fuel tank on every single piece of equipment in my shed. Chain saws, lawn mowers, string trimmers, generator, even my Super A Farmall. All of them. Never thought about the combustion deposits! I started using it to keep diaphragms and seals soft in my 2 cycle engines. Starting problems go away. I have a leaf blower and a chainsaw I purchased in 1993. Never opened the carburetor up. I still use them all year round.
It’s just really good stuff!
Thanks Thanks for sharing.
Is the MMO in addition to the recommended 2cycle treatment?
@@danholman5282
Yes that is correct. In my opinion (for whatever it’s worth) the marvel mystery oil keeps the diaphragms and other rubber components soft and pliable. Occasionally Ill get a little heavy and get some smoke but it’s never caused a problem of any sort.
Agreed... After reading on the Marvel label that it was effective at stabilizing fuel for winter storage.. I tried it in both my lawnmower and motorcycle. Works fantastic at keeping carbs from gumming up during storage periods...
marvel mystery oil has a decent amount of naptha in it, naptha cleans paint brushes and is a solvent , and why marvel mystery oil is good in mower , weedeater etc gas to preserve carbs that sit with gas in them ,it slows varnish residue of gas from ruining carb parts . about 1/2 ounce to a tank full ,run it for a couple minutes and then turn it off .
Thank you so much for the hard work. Teaching about efficiency on the both products.
You are welcome!

His documentary on the Federal Reserve is probably the best there is on the subject.
@@justinw1765 discovered him nearly 10 years ago but found other sources. I can recommend Andrew Carrington Hitchcock, and also former TH-cam star Jan Lamprecht of History Reviewed.
It's so hard to say, is X better than Y or Z. Each have their own characteristics. It did seem that the MMM resulted with a "dryer" surface, but it didn't remove the flaky scale left behind- whereas Seafoam seemed to "wash" the surfaces, but left them wet looking. Both products are better when used in oil AND fuel together, and given time to work. One test with any product isn't really going to do much, or give drastic results to show. I still stand by my original method of a 1-1.5 quart replacement of 50-50 ATF/Acetone in fuel and oil, run about an hour at high idle- for a real "engine wash" (for cars/trucks). Your videos are very enjoyable, and educational; you can let children watch, without fear of language or dangerous practices or procedures, and have a real discussion and learning experience. Thank you very much, and we look forward to more content from you.
I promise that you'll never hear any inappropriate language on this channel. I too have children that I'm concerned about regarding what they see and hear! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Then maybe you can delete the mindless drivel in Brandon's post. Can't believe how human beings can treat other human beings with utter disdain.
Good video. Probably gonna stock up on MMO.
Christopher Baker try some BG44K it's a bit more expensive but is always top rated. BGprod.com and see there products. You Google BG44K
@@arthursmith643 BG44k's "secret" and primary ingredient is P.E.A, which is a great carbon cleaner, and it's at high concentration. BUT, there are other products with P.E.A. at fairly high concentrations that are much cheaper.
@@ProjectFarm There's no such thing as "bad" sounds(words), that's indoctrination...Behavior on the other hand, is a different story..You could use words to talk down to someone, or agitate for violence, etc..But words themselves are harmless, and it's a silly culture that labels some as "bad"...IMO...
Nice job. I love the videos. Stuff I have always wondered about!
Thanks!
I see a lot of guys using the Marvel Mystery Oil to soak seized engines that have sat for years on end and it actually work extremely well. I've never really seen anyone use seafoam to soak engine blocks that are seized up. I think they both serve their purpose based on the job.
Thanks for sharing.
Great test! I have often wondered what each of these does? Guess we will never see a perfectly clean engine inside, but in any case, we do what we can to take care of our equipment!
Your numerical results seem to show Seaform doing better, but MMO made the metal look visibly cleaner to me.
Thanks for commenting on this.
Totally agree
TreesOnTheBeach I agree mmo did better! Can’t understand the compression test. How does an engine get less compression after treatment? That implies mmo is hurting the engine. The pictures don’t confirm that
@@sweetwilliam49 I think it would depend on what the goal is and what "normal" for the engine is. Uneducated/semi-educated opinion: Assuming both products improved the performance of the engine, raising compression would seem to be from freeing up something like a ring or lifter that has trouble moving, or getting deposits off exhaust ports to complete a lifter seal. Lowering compression would seem to be from cleaning off deposits from the faces of surfaces and leaving more room in the combustion chamber. Since there is now more room the fuel mix is not compressed as much meaning of course less compression.
Ian S I can agree with that assumption, that would imply that the engine was working with no loss of compression before the treatment. I guess it could also be assumed the cylinder would have more space to draw in air to increase volume and therefore more compression
Man, ypur awesome! Your videos are full of experiments that are real, and your knowledge of not only wat your testing, bt equipment your using. Every good 👍🏾! Thank you. Keep it up.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Im always happy to find a product im interested in tested on your channel.... Thank you for your service....
You are welcome! Glad to hear!
Your videos are always very informative and done in an engaging and interesting way. I've used both Seafoam and Marvel Mystery oils but I didn't realize MMO could be used in such a way. I think it won the contest as far as removing carbon deposits although Seafoam did pretty good.
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
My grandpa loved! Marvel Mystery Oil! To the point where I bet he took shots of the stuff when my grandma wasn't looking
Zen Jon no way lol
It does smell a bit like peppermint shnapps without the alcohol
LMAO!
I had a uncle that drank motor oil..!!! lol
You gotta keep your tool lubed somehow, haha.
Great test share Man have you become better over 5 years as far as general video quality and letting your personality shine. Thanks
Thanks!
This is a real tough one to judge. The mystery oil did a great job and seemed to edge out the sea foam. I may have to switch products after watching this one, not sure how i missed this video!!
Thanks for watching!
I pour mmo in my 2003 ranger gas tank. Runs like a dream at 210k miles.
Impressive!
Mechanics used mystery oil in their air tools, at least in all the diesel shops I worked in. Worked great. Some guys made up their own concoction of mystery oil and something else of their choice.
Mmo and Lucas half and half
@@alexskeens9845 that's what I do
Atf it is
I believe there is other stuff in there also such as mineral spirits.
Me too!
Another great useful video. Keep them coming.
Thanks, will do!
Can’t express how grateful I am for the work you put in for all of us. Many times I’ve made a buying decision based on your tests and findings. Any thoughts on redoing this test? Perhaps there’s more types and more thorough ways of testing you know now how to do, being 6 years later? Keep rockin man.
mmo is my beard oil, when it's -27 outside it reduces ice build up and it smells great.
lol
I use Kroil on EVERYTHING! Funny thing is, when I come back in the house ( I always put a small dab behind my ear just for fun) my wife will want to sniff my neck. She says "You smell soooo good!!!!" LOL
I just found your channel here about a week ago or so and now I cant stop watching. Your constantly covering everything I've ever wondered and I'm learning a ton of stuff. Thanks for all the awesome info and please keep it coming!!
Glad you enjoy it!
^What he said, lol. Im an RN, just retired, never had much interest in this, now I do. Trying to catch up. Love this channel.
I'd love to see a collaboration video with you and Cody from Cody's Lab. You guys are kindred spirits for sure. It would have to be a unique set of tests involving any myriad of topics.
I’ve been a fan of Marvel Mystery oil for many years & I use it constantly around the house because I have several chainsaws , garden tractors, riding mowers , motorcycles a 1950 Ferguson to20 tractor etc; , however I think for this video & this application I’d go with the seafoam , your videos are very informative & helpful , Thankyou for sharing , I am definitely a subscriber
Thanks for the feedback.
Pure perfection this man was meant to do this!
From my point of view, looks like Marvel mystery erl is the best cleaner, and sea foam is the compression restorer. I'll run a mix of both! :D
Thanks for the feedback.
Yes
I have run them together in the gas tank of my 93 Buick Roadmaster. I took a 350 mile road trip after filling the tank and adding half bottle of each and I only burned a half tank. On the way back I used straight gasoline and went almost to empty.
@@crazyorwhat wow
@@crazyorwhat Gas gauges don't read accurate at Full and 1/2 Full. ie, My Suburban has a 40 gallon tank, but at 1/2 tank has only 15 gallons or so
You could use (sorry this is kind of a weird suggestion) an enema bag with a stopcock to very accurately control the rate that fluid is added. I work in healthcare and we have more tools at our disposal, like IV tubing with roller clamps, dial-a-flows, and of course, IV pumps, but the closest thing I could think of that's available over the counter is an enema bag
Thanks for the feedback.
Same here! Frikkin awesome.
i have at least half dozen enema bags at home. they also work great for enemas!
As a new sub, wondering if any product will give my old SBC 350 a kick in the butt, I'm watching a bunch of your videos. You really work hard for us. Thank you. I'm still watching...
I have been using MMO for decades in my mowers vehicles and even my 97 Ford F350 powerstroke 7.3 liter. All have been running great for years. I add it to my gas tanks every fill up and my mower gas cans. I even use it for my two stroke chainsaws and weed wackers. I swear by it. This was passed down to me by my uncles who were mechanics since the 1950's.
I have an 01 7.3, hard to start when cool I put new glow plugs relay etc, would this help oil side of the injectors? Buzz test confirms stiction, I am not rebuilding till it acts up after warming up then I will, I'm afraid it will hurt the 7.3 because of its hue fuel management system
I run mmo in my 7.3l as well...never had any problems out of her
OutdoorAdventures do you just add a bottle to fuel tank ? That’s what I do with transmission fluid once in a while ...
@@dangitgrossman I buy it by the gallon and add it to the fuel per the instructions.
skidoo ck3 run ARCHOIL 9100 for power strokes. It takes 16 ounces every oil change. 200 miles of driving and it will make a huge difference! I put ARCHOIL 9100 on every oil change I do on my ‘97 7.3. They have a lot of happy customers. You be amazed how fast they start in the winter l!
I was wondering about these two products and you really went into detail and I wanted to say thank you for sharing your knowledge.
You are so welcome!
First I watch almost all of your videos and I'm to the point that I don't buy anything until I see if you've reviewed it or something like it. Your always accurate and helpful. Thanks so much.
I realize this is an older video. But we just went through a tornado, so no power we bought generator back in 2000 because of bad ice storm and its been in storage except for about once every 6 months I run it for a few hours. Well now we need it again trying to save our freezers and stuff. It ran fine first day, about 12 hours, fresh gas, oil change etc. But second day didn't want to start at all. Backfired black black smoke, carb loading up. I put mystery oil in tank, sprayed carb cleaner in carb, finally got it to start and you could tell when that mystery oil hit. Good stuff in my opinion. But now that I've seen your video I trust it a whole lot more. Thank you so much for what you do. One last thought.
Dude , ,, ( as my kids would say) you hooked up an I V drip to a lawn mower that's gotta be a first. True Doctor of mechanics. Lol I love it.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Your all the videos are very informative
Well Done
Keep it up ❤
Thanks, will do!
Todd, thank you so much for your time, testing, quality, and integrity. You've helped me make better choices and overturn paid enforcement I've accepted and family lore I've used. My request for testing would be oil filters, if I could humbly request something.
Thanks so much! Thanks for the video idea.
First video I've seen, I love how it was put together. You're consistent in your presentation and are very thorough. I look forward to more of your videos. Just saying.
Thank you very much!
Love your content. Keep up the great work. 👏👏
Thanks, will do!
Just came here for a flashback. You’re still doing a great job!!!
Thanks!
In 1999, I found a 73 Chevy Travelmate R.V. Sat 15 years the owner said. He said he would sell it for $500 if I could get it running. I poured MMO down each spark plugs well and let it stand for 2 weeks. She fired up. Ran beautifully. Love that Marvel Mystery Oil.
Wow! MMO is a great product!
Luftwaffa hated it
kelly sargent is that a true story.
Pretty much the same story, a car sat in a Field for 13 years, get it running at its yours. Pulled all the plugs, squirted mmo down each cylinder with plugs out put a new battery in and changed the oil and filter. Cranked the engine over without the plugs in which spat out all the mmo in the cylinders. Put plugs back in and with new gas in the tank I cranked it up and drove it away. I now use about 2 graduations on a bottle of mmo every 3 to 4 fill ups in my gas tank and the spark plugs come out the prettiest light tan you would ever want to see on a spark plug.
kelly sargent has
I love how you spend your time helping everyone showing the perfect products and inconsistent large corporation misfit info and products that are no good. This is really a life changer and I can’t even start to understand how much time you put into this for us, thank you
You are welcome!
This guy is great. Thank you for the very helpful information.
Thanks and you are welcome!
Every time I need a product I see if you’ve done a test on it. Going with the recommended oil you tested but wondering which oil filter to get. I want to start changing my own oil. Also, Seafoam helped my older car run a good amount better. Amazing channel.
Thanks! Thanks for the suggestion,
