MMo is good stuff. I remember as a kid this mechanic poured some into the spark plug holes of a motor that was seized up from rust. It sat in the junkyard for a very long time. Changed the oil and bad fuel, aired up the tires, pulled it with a tow rope and when it got up to about 30MPH had someone pop it into gear. Not only did the engine free itself it ran! Thinking about it now I'm amazed no piston rings where destroyed.
For anybody contemplating this idea, today I had a collapsed lifter on the way home. Poured in the Mystery fluid, and within 2 minutes, my truck was as quiet as can be. Vehicle I used this on, is a 1991 F-150 5.0l.
MMO is amazing and absolutely heard a difference and have seen it work in other vehicles as well. It will clean sticky lifters, VVT solenoids and get rid of carbon and sludge. I use it in my gas making my engine run smooth and gas even freed a stuck fuel float!
I added about 16 oz MMO to a neighbor’s 2011 Chevy Silverado 1500 and it quieted down the tapping noise of the hydraulic lifters within minutes. I personally didn’t think the tapping noise was all that bad to begin with, but my neighbor was SO HAPPY because the noise was driving him crazy.

I am a mechanic by trade and when I worked for an old company called Western Auto I had an 83 Oldsmobile Cutlass supreme that had all the lifters tapping. The parts guy Recommend Marvals Mystery Oil...I didn't expect much out of it...after all I tried everything else and nothing worked so I figured why not try this...after a week of driving the tapping stopped completely...I drove that car for 2 more years putting the Marvel's Mystery oil in it every oil change...when I had to remove the intake manifold due to a coolant leak the inside of the engine was surprisingly clean...no sludge build up and you could see the metal from the engine block which I have removed many intake manifolds and usually all you see is sludge build up...this was back in 1987 when the oil was just oil none of this high tech stuff we have now. I recommend it over the years to many customers and advise them to try Marvel's Mystery oil for any lifter tapping noise and it worked 100% of the time...I like to call it mechanic in a can
@Bobby Frags I agree oil has come a long way and so have engines. Tighter tolerances require better oil and filtration but some engines just want to be heard like lifters on GM and Ford there may be other manufactures with engine noise and other lubrication failure noise. I have a friend that works at a Mopar dealer as a heavy line tech that tells me all about engine failures but I have not looked at the part so I dont know if its a lube problem, bad design, or abuse by the customer but my point is engines make noise and want to be heard and in my case Marvals Mystery Oil by no means will fix a hard part failure
I have added a qt go MMO at each oil change since the 1960s, have has several with 200,000 plus miles, never lost a crank bearing or camshaft journal, the stuff is a legend because it works, doesn’t let sludge form. Regular oil changes also prevent sludge build up.
My BMW e60 530i clattered like a diesel. After I added MMO, the infamous BMW lifter tick was completely gone. I had also added MMO to the fuel and when I revved the engine in the parking lot, I noticed that the tailpipe spat out a lot of carbon and after revving it for a few minutes, it was running clean. The car has been running as good as new ever since.
As a preventative measure you can add Marvel Mystery Oil to your oil at every oil change. I would only use 1/2 the recommended amount for that, but it does help keep things clean and working well. I have used it for many years.
I had a terrible surging problem with my 24 yr old Murray riding mower. The surging of the carb idle was so great that it effected power and the ability to mow. I added MMO to the fuel and also added it to the crankcase when I changed the oil. I mowed for 30 minutes and the surging disappeared, When I dropped the idle all the way down before shutting off the engine, the crazy thing idled beautifully, and very smoothly. I’m not sure but did I just reverse 20 yrs of age?? I’m Sold, this stuff will stay around here. Sea foam and carb cleaner never did squat , But this stuff took only 30 minutes to amaze me, WOW!!!
I had a sticking valve in my 1984 Jeep 4 cylinder engine, which was a remanufactured engine purchased from NAPA, I was using 10w40 oil Valve started making a terrible noise, I tried a number of things, sea foam etc: Nothing worked, I ask an old dude that worked at parts store for many years, His answer: You have two choices, MMM, if it does not work then, pull the head and have it rebuilt, So I changed oil and filter, added synthetic oil and 1/2 qt mmm to oil and 1/2 qt mmm to fuel tank, Started engine, noise was so loud I almost shut it off thinking the motor was about to blow, Just as I was about to shut it off maybe 30 sec to a minute after starting it up the noise started to go away, less and less noise, I took the Jeep for a short drive when I got back the noise was gone, As in the video the noise came back a few times over the next year, but just for a short period like 30 seconds to a minute, But as time when on, it never came back and that was 5 years ago or longer, When I change the oil I use synthetic oil, mmm and the best oil filter they carry, No more valve or lifter noise, might not work in all situations, but it worked on my old Jeep,
Hello, I saw the whole Video from the beginning until the end and Man! what a difference that Mystery Oil makes, I'm very happy for you and I repeat I'm so happy for you because I can tell you like that Truck a lot, thank you for keeping us informed, I appreciate it, you know you gave me a good idea I'm going to use that in my car because lately it's getting louder, I even took it to my Mechanic Person and he said you know there's nothing wrong with it, I checked the whole thing you know and nothing, I thought at least I had a exhaust leak or something or a vacuum leak but none of that, he said you know cars get old and cranky too then we were laughing, thanks again Man, I'll try it
I have used MMO every other oil change on my 2001 8.1L chevy as well as 100% synthetic oil. It will hit 500,000 miles in about 2 weeks or so. I also add 2 or 3 ounces of MMO in every tank of gas.
+Old Griz Yeah they say to apply it before and after every use. Makes sense with the condensation in the air hose. That's why you have to drain your compressor after every use but a lot of people are not aware of that.
Use one quart of Marvel Mystery Oil at every oil change. Substitute one quart of regular motor oil for one quart of Marvel. Marvel oil is a solvent based lubricant and works well. Some people use ATF as it is detergent as well.
kfl611 I've never had to replace a fuel pump either. We don't have mmo here. A million miles later and 25 years on total. Old 2001 Mercedes did almost 200,000 before being sold and it's still on the road and my 14+ year Cayenne V8 has dual fuel pumps and still on original pumps too. Just saying.
everyone has so much to say. obviously it's not a fan clutch or timing chain guide if he put it in and the motor shut up. kudos to you for using mmo and it did the job. ignore the nay sayers.
Steve Mccullough I know right, putting MMO in my oil isn't going to magically fix a loose heat shield....lol The MMO worked for my issue and I'm glad I used it.
Greetings from the Ohio Porters. Quite impressive. I’ve never used this product in my oil or fuel. Now that it’s running better, clean up your engine bay and that might make it better on fuel mileage. I’ve always thought that one…clean engine = better fuel mileage. Who knows. Thanks for sharing! 🤩
I am so lucky. Or so smart. I bought a 2001 Camry with 103K last year. Old man driven and I think it sat for more than year needing a timing belt before I got it. Clean perfect engine. Clean perfect transmission. The A104E with the 4 cyl uses Dexron II, not solely Dex III like everyone says. Just to help out, I do research things and I have concluded, in these older import models, use either Dex II, Dex III if you can get it (Mercon is Dex III) or multiimport transmission fluid. Valvoline and Castrol both make this kind of fluid. Mercon V and Dexron VI are back compatible but I have concluded, don't use them I will use all multimport when I drain and fill again. If you have T-IV, M-5 or D-6 back compatible in your import don't worry about it. But switch to multi-import when you flush or drain and fill. Admittedly off topic, but a lot of people own old imports with AT's. The higher viscosity petroleum fluids are better than the thinner synthetic blends. Now on to topic. Many methods of flushing are possible. Usually, flushing is unnecessary but if you think you need it, do not fill with diesel or kerosene and run the engine. Better to put in low viscosity oil and an approved solvent (such as mystery oil) and let it idle for 20 mins, drain and fill with the recommended oil. Unless the engine is really, really bad, you don't need to do more than that. If you think the engine is still dirty, put in an approved (parts store) product, drive it for awhile and change the oil again.
I am 66 years old and have used Marvel Mystery Oil since I was 10 years old in my minibike still use it today for many different applications great stuff. Use about 2.0 ounces in the gas of my Murry garden tractor every time I fill it up and its 25 years old and still runs great and have never tuned it up .
Oil jets clogged by sludge. The oil wasn't circulating around all the way. Keep using marvel and speed up your oil change interval some and that noise will be gone for good. Chances are if a lifter is tapping, the rest of the top end was being oil starved as well.
I bought a jeep with lifter noise, i treated with marvel oil and full synthetic oil. It's been five years since and still running the same quiet and strong engine.
A true testimony to MARVEL Mystery Oil's cleaning and elite wicking action. Really gets into the little nooks and crannies of an engine..Damn that thing sounded like a diesel or a had a bad rod or something! Very impressive to flush out the sludge in those lifters, and get her pumped back up !👏 👌 👍PS That Motorcraft is a fine filter actually better than the E Core style AC Delco of today...It's a Ford use a Motorcraft. Or a Purolator BOSS. TOP NOTCH filter for the money...$11.99 @ Menards
Thanks for taking the time to make your video 😎🏁 I just picked up some of this marvel mystery oil today, and I found your video, I’m so happy for you that it made a huge difference with the noise I’m hoping it can freeup some possible stuck cylinder rings for my car. My car runs great, up to about 3000 RPM but after 4000 RPM doesn’t have much power after that, no acceleration to pass cars on the highway / I just found out that it has a lot of blow by pressure coming back up the dipstick tube- and puffs air out of the oil fill cap with the engine running- wish me luck, I really do think that this stuff will help. I’m gonna try it in the gas and the oil. 😎🏁👍
Used MMO for 30+ years. I recommend using 8oz in gas and oil each at every oil change. And since it cleans out your engine, be sure to run some cataclean or guaranteed to pass each oil change as well to keep the converter clean as the carbon that you are cleaning out of your engine will clog it up.
This stuff does really work,I tried it in my oil and gas. And it did improve my miles cause I usually get 300 miles on a full tank.Now I get 325 little improvement.
Driving the vehicle will give faster results than idle it , need to increase oil pressure and flow to remove the accumulated crap in oil gantries. Best is 20 plus miles on interstate at 65 to 75 mph.
I don't know how long you've owned the truck, but man! That oil was way too dirty for a fresh change. I only change my oil once a year. Since I only put about 4000 miles on it. And it still looks clean. It's an 01 blazer with 161000 miles. Uses less than a quart between changes. Maybe that's a testimony for GM. 😊
When you hear knocking add a lighter oil if your car calls for 5 30 use 5 30 it is very light putting 10 30 is to heavy when your engine is clogged you need oil circulation you can go 0 30 just to get some oil pumping through the clog. You were damaging your engine it should never sound like that. Your oil pump may be worn. You need to do a oil pressure test. Change the oil pressure sensor.
Impressive! I haven't heard my Ford engines making such a noise. I would be scared. I do use the Marvel Mystery oil often, but i never let the engine get sludged up. Did you ever find out for sure what was making the noise ?
I just tend to use MMO a 100 miles before an oil change, n it works every time even if I don't hear a tick... Helps the oil pump move better too I feel...
Every Ranger Truck I saw rattled like this, last summer my neighbor had the cam bearing seize to the can and everything was wasted (cam, followers, lash adjusters) and he had the impression it was an easy fix.. That Marvels oil, leave the stuff in there for at least a month, otherwise its not doing its job. Short trips, daily driving, warm up cycles allowing the stuff to soak works best. I used MMO in P/S, rear ends and other areas as a clean out treatment, the stuff is amazing!
as a teen in the 60's we would slowly pour mmothrough the carb while engine was running, created a lot of smoke but it would clean carb,valves ,and lifters along with removing carbon from plugs,. by the way smoke a lot but cleared quickly.
Thicker oil does a poorer job of lubrication. It flows to critical parts slower causing worse lubrication. Thinner oil will move through the oil passages quicker getting to critical engine parts faster and more effectively. Thick oil just blankets poor engine lubrication.
If it doesn't work get another truck or toss in a used engine. You can use up to 20 percent MMO with oil change. If the car takes 5 quarts you can use 4 reg oil and 1 quart MMO.
All additives for older cars are like prescribed drugs. They don’t fix problems they manage them. Just keep using the one you find works best. MMO is quite good. But I find it works best with an octane booster.
I believe your test. Not long ago I used a mechanics grade engine flush and then an additive (during a oil and filter change) to quiten a R32 GTR motor. It had a knock that sounded terminal and expensive, but by treating the engine it reduced the knock to where i had to strain to hear it. So they do work. I now have a Holden HSV R8 that uses some oil, and I believe I can reduce that with this additive too.
10:25 I was actually worrying about that exact thing as I saw you getting out of the truck with the engine running. I try and leave at least enough of the window open to get my arm in and unlock it when the engine is running. I've seen it happen to other people and don't want it to happen to me.
I'm right there with you brother, I had to chuckle when I heard him mention that. Interesting how brain cells are instantly created for some of us guys and made into muscle memory. Stay blessed and keep safe....
MMO fixed my timing chain tensioner issue in my 2006 Chevy HHR (At least in my case) My timing chain was making "some" noise, not really bad, but noticeable. The problem is when the tensioner gets sludge and sticks in causing slack on the chain. My guess is MMO cleaned out the sludge and the tensioner poped back out fixing the tension problem. Now its nice and quiet.
JAA I can’t say this will definitely fix the issue in all cases, but that’s my best guess on what happened on mine, if enough stuff is messed up, MMO won’t fix it. But it can’t hurt to give it a try, I added MMO 500 miles before I changed the oil (twice) and it did the trick on my car!
Marvel is very good it's been that way for since I was a boy and I'm 55 I've started off on cars when I was tensome of that stuff works you just have to find what works is easier for you guys that know TH-cam now you got that nasty clunk out of there good job
If it's plugged up, you more than likely but using a high paraffin oil and either been doing very short trips or not been changing it often enough and it's got it badly sludged
I had a 2.7L Chrysler V6 where it took over an hour to drain the oil out because the owner had cooked all the oil in it so badly. I did three oil/filter changes in a week with MMO, and saved it from going to the junkyard. The first oil came out so nasty it looked like Satan himself had whizzed in my drain pan. After the third oil change, the car ran like it was brand new, and those 2.7L engines are notorious for seizing due to sludge.
I have 2003 f150 4×4 lariat with 218k, it's been ticking on cold start but goes away after engine warms up. Figure its lifter and Mechanic at my job to me about mmo. He said try it before I have them replaced.
At your next oil change, please use 5W-30 or 10W-30, not straight 10 weight oil. Add about 4 oz. of MMO to that oil change, and maintain that regimen at every oil change.
Timing chain Ford ,for some reason, dual timings have a"older " for each side. The problem is one pump down ,the other pump's up and is your problem. If a driver doesn't drive aggressively the order will get stopped up thus wearing out the time and guides cause your noise. Get a pair of those telescopes like the doctor wears use and he will help you find your ticket problem right to the point or or you can go real old school and use a broom handle you'll find your noise
The sadness in the video above is that this test should have been run over a YEAR. Add it to your gas (4 oz per 10 gals of gas) and over a year you will begin to notice your car performance improve dramatically. I NEVER have used any additives in any car I ever own as I didn't believe in them. I am 70 years old and have had a lot of different performing cars. I currently have a 2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP (turbo) with GM sanctioned "GMPP" chips which steps the HP up to 340. After discovering the hard way that GM did NOT install the new chips correctly, I got them repaired. (took about 10 minutes with a soldering iron). The improvement in having THEM work correctly was beyond expectations. (it's a 4 cylinder roadster). I noticed a LOT of hesitation in acceleration. An old guy like me recommended Mystery Oil. I thought ... what the heck ... if it cleans my fuel system and keeps the gas tank clean I will be a happy camper. I am far beyond happy. It takes about a year to clean your entire fuel system. You won't notice for quite some time ... but slowly things will begin to improve. Idling speed, cruising speed, and general acceleration performance. The hesitation I once despised about the turbo acceleration is now HISTORY. I didn't take the car anywhere to have it tuned or checked or anything. Just the Mystery Oil. I am sold on this stuff. I am also religious about it. If you expect immediate results, you will be disappointed. If you are patient and do exactly what the instructions on the bottle say, you will be not only amazed but very happy you did it. Unlike the gentleman in this video, I have yet to try it in the Oil system. But I just might have to ... Mystery oil sells for about $4 a bottle @ Walmart. Quart bottles. You can get bigger if you want or have the need, depending on your driving mileage. Mostly? ... be patient and keep putting MO in ... you won't regret it.
My 2012 gmc 5.3 has a light lifter tick, I add a few ounces of mmo every oil change, before I got my 2012 gmc, I had an s10 4.3 v6, it had a bad lifter tick that mmo almost took out completely, it made it really quiet, but it took like 100 miles to work
I had a '99 Chrysler 300M that had a lifter tic almost that bad. Put in MMO at the oil change. Tic went away, drove it another 50,000 miles. It really works.
I had an intermittent tick in my Dodge, and I tried this method. It went away for a while, but then all of a sudden it returned, accompanied by a misfire. Turned out to be a broken upper piston ring.
I put marvel mystery oil in a 2008 LS 460 that had a ticking (noise lifter), It holds 9.1 quart of oil with filter I put in about 12 ounces and after a few minutes at idle it was definitely a little quieter. 😉 after a couple days & couple days of driving and sitting in the garage there is absolutely no ticking noise. The car had 90K on it when I put MMO in the crankcase and now I have 135K and haven’t used Marvel oil again and have never had any ticking noise. When I changed the oil after adding MMO that I it was black as diesel oil. Again and the engine has absolutely know ticking noise got quieter and quieter until now there is no ticking noise whatsoever. However MMO did not decrease oil consumption as at approx 1200 miles I am always 1 qt. low.
Can't help but think I hear a deeper knock in the engine towards the end of the video. Sounds like you could have a rod going on you. Your stuck lifter was fixed but it sounds as though you have an issue with a rod to me.
It's a Ford Triton engine.The only fix is to replace it.Ask any Ford mechanic, it has to do with valve phase and undersized oil supply channels that clog and cause the valves to hit the pistons.The cheapest fix, and the one recommended by Ford, is to replace the engine.
For everyone out there. If there is wear on the parts to the point where your pushrods are now too short or you have a bottom end issue.. this will probably not fix your issue.
My 07 Suburban had lifter problems, classic problem for Suburbans .. Marvel cleared the problem for me, tapping went away. Now I just add a small amount after every oil change and it does the trick. Problem is not many people floor these engines to kick out the sludge and crap because of the design. Make sure to floor the truck on the highway and let it run through the gears at least once a week. This will pull that sludge crap out instead of collecting on the lifters. The Marvel does the trick, but your lifter problem sounds pretty bad.
That's not your lifters, that's your timing chain guides...Eventually you have to replace them, no oil is going to fix it....This is a common problem with the Ford 4.0 sohc engine...The marvel mystery oil being as thin as it is probably will make more noise, A thicker oil may be more of your friend here...
+Peter S That would be awesome if I had the 4.0. Easy fix, but and there's always a but. My engine is the 3.0 6 cylinder. It does not have timing chain tensioners. Plus it was not my front timing chain. Been 7 months now and no knocking or tapping sound. MMO worked.
+Peter S No problem. Input is always welcomed. I made the video for people who are in rough times and can't afford a costly repair or replacement. Many don't have the knowledge or tools to do the repair and with used vehicles being more popular than ever it doesn't hurt to give the MMO a try. It made a believer out of me. Plus dealerships use kerosene, atf, MMO as well to get rid of knocking sounds in the lifters. But atf and kerosene can only run in your vehicle for about 20 minutes before you have to replace the oil and filter. I put MMO in my gas at every refill now as well.
JourneyTotheTruthandTotalRandomness Im glad the MMO worked for you! You can definitely hear the difference. Ive used a quart of diesel, but like the kerosene, about 20mins, then drain the oil... On the other hand, ATF can actually be added to the oil and be driven. It is very similiar to the MMO as its thin viscosity and gets into the oil passages easier than 5W or 10W oil... have a mechanic friend that recommends 1 quart of ATF with your oil, drive it for 100-300 miles, then drain oil and change filter, top up with fresh oil. He says as long as theres no damaged parts, it usually takes away most ticking noises. Thanks for the vid!
I have a question. I live in a really hot than a cold as hell environment. Am I doing my engine any good by putting in a thinner oil in the winter and than a 10 weight in the summer ?

Lifters were being starved for oil by blocked passages. Marvel cleaned them out.

You can use MMO in your gas tank as well. It gets rid of all the moisture and cleans out your fuel injectors too.
My BMW e60 530i clattered like a diesel. After I added MMO, the infamous BMW lifter tick was completely gone.
I had also added MMO to the fuel and when I revved the engine in the parking lot, I noticed that the tailpipe spat out a lot of carbon and after revving it for a few minutes, it was running clean.

MMO was used by the barrel for aircraft in WWll. I used it on my old piper cub after rebuild and never had a problem.
I had a sticking valve in my 1984 Jeep 4 cylinder engine, which was a remanufactured engine purchased from NAPA, I was using 10w40 oil
Valve started making a terrible noise, I tried a number of things, sea foam etc: Nothing worked, I ask an old dude that worked at parts store for many years,
His answer: You have two choices, MMM, if it does not work then, pull the head and have it rebuilt,
So I changed oil and filter, added synthetic oil and 1/2 qt mmm to oil and 1/2 qt mmm to fuel tank,
Started engine, noise was so loud I almost shut it off thinking the motor was about to blow,
Just as I was about to shut it off maybe 30 sec to a minute after starting it up the noise started to go away,
less and less noise, I took the Jeep for a short drive when I got back the noise was gone,
As in the video the noise came back a few times over the next year, but just for a short period like 30 seconds to a minute,
But as time when on, it never came back and that was 5 years ago or longer,
When I change the oil I use synthetic oil, mmm and the best oil filter they carry,
No more valve or lifter noise, might not work in all situations, but it worked on my old Jeep,

My Dad did a similar fix on one of his cars, using Kerosene. We were all flabbergasted when it worked!
Damn man, it's hard to believe that something in a bottle can make that much of an improvement.
That loud I would have thought timing chain tensioner or even a bad pulley bearing!
I have used MMO every other oil change on my 2001 8.1L chevy as well as 100% synthetic oil. It will hit 500,000 miles in about 2 weeks or so. I also add 2 or 3 ounces of MMO in every tank of gas.
+Old Griz I too add marvel to my gas at every fill.
JourneyTotheTruthandTotalRandomness , I also use it in my air tools.
+Old Griz Yeah they say to apply it before and after every use. Makes sense with the condensation in the air hose. That's why you have to drain your compressor after every use but a lot of people are not aware of that.
Use one quart of Marvel Mystery Oil at every oil change. Substitute one quart of regular motor oil for one quart of Marvel. Marvel oil is a solvent based lubricant and works well. Some people use ATF as it is detergent as well.
I roll my window down for the same reason! I added Marvel m to my oil and I was pleasantly surprised, throttle response was noticeably better.
been using it for 40 years, works great, lubes your fuel pump, and I have never had to replace a fuel pump on any of my cars.
Well i was looking for a video on if MMO cleans the fuel pump. Good thing i fukn read. Thanks
MMO can be put in your fuel tank to clean the injectors and top end of the cylinder. Go be stupid somewhere else.
Yeager Mcbipper Lol
kfl611 I've never had to replace a fuel pump either. We don't have mmo here.
A million miles later and 25 years on total. Old 2001 Mercedes did almost 200,000 before being sold and it's still on the road and my 14+ year Cayenne V8 has dual fuel pumps and still on original pumps too. Just saying.
Does MMO make newer electric in tank fuel pumps last longer ?
everyone has so much to say. obviously it's not a fan clutch or timing chain guide if he put it in and the motor shut up. kudos to you for using mmo and it did the job. ignore the nay sayers.
Steve Mccullough I know right, putting MMO in my oil isn't going to magically fix a loose heat shield....lol
The MMO worked for my issue and I'm glad I used it.
@Bj Bo Jackson Yes, mmo fixed that to and my flat tire..lol
I love MMO, it’s always worked for me for sticky lifters. Been using it since 1990.
Greetings from the Ohio Porters. Quite impressive. I’ve never used this product in my oil or fuel. Now that it’s running better, clean up your engine bay and that might make it better on fuel mileage. I’ve always thought that one…clean engine = better fuel mileage. Who knows. Thanks for sharing! 🤩
That's really impressive sounds like brand new now.. love these type of things
Start using Synthetic oil, if you aren't already. The proper viscosity for the vehicle. And a better brand of gas no matter the price.
That was a rod knock!! Lifter tap is more high pitched like smacking 2 hammers together!! I'm impressed that this stuff took care of that problem!!!!
I am so lucky. Or so smart. I bought a 2001 Camry with 103K last year. Old man driven and I think it sat for more than year needing a timing belt before I got it. Clean perfect engine. Clean perfect transmission. The A104E with the 4 cyl uses Dexron II, not solely Dex III like everyone says. Just to help out, I do research things and I have concluded, in these older import models, use either Dex II, Dex III if you can get it (Mercon is Dex III) or multiimport transmission fluid. Valvoline and Castrol both make this kind of fluid. Mercon V and Dexron VI are back compatible but I have concluded, don't use them I will use all multimport when I drain and fill again. If you have T-IV, M-5 or D-6 back compatible in your import don't worry about it. But switch to multi-import when you flush or drain and fill. Admittedly off topic, but a lot of people own old imports with AT's. The higher viscosity petroleum fluids are better than the thinner synthetic blends.
Now on to topic. Many methods of flushing are possible. Usually, flushing is unnecessary but if you think you need it, do not fill with diesel or kerosene and run the engine. Better to put in low viscosity oil and an approved solvent (such as mystery oil) and let it idle for 20 mins, drain and fill with the recommended oil. Unless the engine is really, really bad, you don't need to do more than that. If you think the engine is still dirty, put in an approved (parts store) product, drive it for awhile and change the oil again.
Awesome love the real world test on this stuff. Great to see it works
I am 66 years old and have used Marvel Mystery Oil since I was 10 years old in my minibike still use it today for many different applications great stuff. Use about 2.0 ounces in the gas of my Murry garden tractor every time I fill it up and its 25 years old and still runs great and have never tuned it up .
So it works?
This is old but you can do 20% MMO with new oil changes.
Oil jets clogged by sludge. The oil wasn't circulating around all the way. Keep using marvel and speed up your oil change interval some and that noise will be gone for good. Chances are if a lifter is tapping, the rest of the top end was being oil starved as well.
I bought a jeep with lifter noise, i treated with marvel oil and full synthetic oil. It's been five years since and still running the same quiet and strong engine.
A true testimony to MARVEL Mystery Oil's cleaning and elite wicking action. Really gets into the little nooks and crannies of an engine..Damn that thing sounded like a diesel or a had a bad rod or something! Very impressive to flush out the sludge in those lifters, and get her pumped back up !👏 👌 👍PS That Motorcraft is a fine filter actually better than the E Core style AC Delco of today...It's a Ford use a Motorcraft. Or a Purolator BOSS. TOP NOTCH filter for the money...$11.99 @ Menards
Thanks for taking the time to make your video 😎🏁
I just picked up some of this marvel mystery oil today, and I found your video, I’m so happy for you that it made a huge difference with the noise
I’m hoping it can freeup some possible stuck cylinder rings for my car.
My car runs great, up to about 3000 RPM but after 4000 RPM doesn’t have much power after that, no acceleration to pass cars on the highway / I just found out that it has a lot of blow by pressure coming back up the dipstick tube- and puffs air out of the oil fill cap with the engine running- wish me luck, I really do think that this stuff will help. I’m gonna try it in the gas and the oil. 😎🏁👍
2 years ago I was gifted a jalopy 1982 Chevy citation and marvel mystery oil is the first thing I stuck in her, she purrs like a jaguar now👍
Used MMO for 30+ years. I recommend using 8oz in gas and oil each at every oil change. And since it cleans out your engine, be sure to run some cataclean or guaranteed to pass each oil change as well to keep the converter clean as the carbon that you are cleaning out of your engine will clog it up.
How often do you use cataclean?
@@bassheadlife492 Once a year or so
Some years ago adding MMO to my engine & rattling roller lifters stopped. 1996 Ford Windstar. W/M-1 5W30.
This stuff does really work,I tried it in my oil and gas. And it did improve my miles cause I usually get 300 miles on a full tank.Now I get 325 little improvement.
@@papifrancisco9900 8.5 % increase
Driving the vehicle will give faster results than idle it , need to increase oil pressure and flow to remove the accumulated crap in oil gantries. Best is 20 plus miles on interstate at 65 to 75 mph.
Agreed! I just did the same. 98 Ranger 2.5 4cyl. It cleared up my lifter tap. Super impressed.
I don't know how long you've owned the truck, but man! That oil was way too dirty for a fresh change. I only change my oil once a year. Since I only put about 4000 miles on it. And it still looks clean. It's an 01 blazer with 161000 miles. Uses less than a quart between changes. Maybe that's a testimony for GM. 😊
This is your timing chain. Marvel misty oil will work on hydraulic lifter to remove oil sludge, which requires changing oil sooner.
I drink 2 oz of MMO everyday to get my arteries unclogged.
Straightens out the pee stream too.
Three years later, still working?
@@therealboofighter Probably out lubing up the ole cylinder with marvel mystery oil.
Do you guys dilute it with water and stir, or just drink it full strength ?
I usually boof 20 cc of mystery oil it’s great for the bung hole
When you hear knocking add a lighter oil if your car calls for 5 30 use 5 30 it is very light putting 10 30 is to heavy when your engine is clogged you need oil circulation you can go 0 30 just to get some oil pumping through the clog. You were damaging your engine it should never sound like that. Your oil pump may be worn. You need to do a oil pressure test. Change the oil pressure sensor.
Impressive! I haven't heard my Ford engines making such a noise. I would be scared. I do use the Marvel Mystery oil often, but i never let the engine get sludged up.
Did you ever find out for sure what was making the noise ?
Doesn't sound like issue with lifters, more like rod knock or the oil guide near crank?
The FL400S Motorcraft Oil Filter is world class. Do not kid yourself in the least.
All Motorcraft oil filters are excellent
I just tend to use MMO a 100 miles before an oil change, n it works every time even if I don't hear a tick... Helps the oil pump move better too I feel...
You can keep the MMO in the engine until next oil change. Not gonna hurt anything
Every Ranger Truck I saw rattled like this, last summer my neighbor had the cam bearing seize to the can and everything was wasted (cam, followers, lash adjusters) and he had the impression it was an easy fix.. That Marvels oil, leave the stuff in there for at least a month, otherwise its not doing its job. Short trips, daily driving, warm up cycles allowing the stuff to soak works best. I used MMO in P/S, rear ends and other areas as a clean out treatment, the stuff is amazing!
This stuff is amazing, i use it on everything. I even have a few ounces on my nightstand (if ya know what i sayin)...
What for?
@@beamishlotus7269 shaft lubricant
😮@@beamishlotus7269
as a teen in the 60's we would slowly pour mmothrough the carb while engine was running, created a lot of smoke but it would clean carb,valves ,and lifters along with removing carbon from plugs,. by the way smoke a lot but cleared quickly.
Nice, I use it in my trucks and motorcycles for over 35 years and this stuff works
That was a hell of a lift noise. Idk know what it was but that was worse than any lifter I've heard.
blueovalfan23 oh yea
Could be a rocker arm
I agree with Jerry. Thats not a lifter tap. Sounds like a rocker arm hitting the cover!!
@@lastchance8142 sounds like a collapsed lifter and the push rod banging around.
Great job on the video my friend! I’m a Silverado owner so no fords here but I’m subbing to u anyway. Thnx again!
Thicker oil does a poorer job of lubrication. It flows to critical parts slower causing worse lubrication. Thinner oil will move through the oil passages quicker getting to critical engine parts faster and more effectively.
Thick oil just blankets poor engine lubrication.
0-20
The engine recommends 5w30. He is using 10w30, That is not much of a difference. 30w oil is what it recommends.
TNitro N it's not about how fast it flows. It's also about film thickness.
Sorry bud, been using 15-40 in my vehicles for over 13 years now with no problems.
Some owners manuals recommend it for severe/ harsh environments.
OK u can help it go put water in your oil compartment. It flow easily then
If it doesn't work get another truck or toss in a used engine. You can use up to 20 percent MMO with oil change. If the car takes 5 quarts you can use 4 reg oil and 1 quart MMO.
Whoa, what a difference a week makes 👍👍
Sounds to me like a loose lifter. That’s easy enough to fix. MMO is fantastic stuff and will help mask a issue tho.
All additives for older cars are like prescribed drugs.
They don’t fix problems they manage them.
Just keep using the one you find works best.
MMO is quite good.
But I find it works best with an octane booster.
Awesome. I use Rislone engine treatment and it works just as good.
I believe your test. Not long ago I used a mechanics grade engine flush and then an additive (during a oil and filter change) to quiten a R32 GTR motor. It had a knock that sounded terminal and expensive, but by treating the engine it reduced the knock to where i had to strain to hear it. So they do work. I now have a Holden HSV R8 that uses some oil, and I believe I can reduce that with this additive too.
I added mmo to my 2007 Silverado and the electronic lifters came back to life
10:25 I was actually worrying about that exact thing as I saw you getting out of the truck with the engine running. I try and leave at least enough of the window open to get my arm in and unlock it when the engine is running. I've seen it happen to other people and don't want it to happen to me.
I'm right there with you brother, I had to chuckle when I heard him mention that. Interesting how brain cells are instantly created for some of us guys and made into muscle memory. Stay blessed and keep safe....
Happens when usually don’t use the correct oil , but you can try dr valve and I feel confident works very good
MMO fixed my timing chain tensioner issue in my 2006 Chevy HHR (At least in my case) My timing chain was making "some" noise, not really bad, but noticeable. The problem is when the tensioner gets sludge and sticks in causing slack on the chain. My guess is MMO cleaned out the sludge and the tensioner poped back out fixing the tension problem. Now its nice and quiet.
JAA I can’t say this will definitely fix the issue in all cases, but that’s my best guess on what happened on mine, if enough stuff is messed up, MMO won’t fix it. But it can’t hurt to give it a try, I added MMO 500 miles before I changed the oil (twice) and it did the trick on my car!
Sounded like a bad pulley...MMO is good stuff. Thanks for documenting it.
Marvel is very good it's been that way for since I was a boy and I'm 55 I've started off on cars when I was tensome of that stuff works you just have to find what works is easier for you guys that know TH-cam now you got that nasty clunk out of there good job
For a minute....I thought it was a Diesel.....😂😂😂
Good job on the fix...👍👍👍
I’m impressed! Amazing results from an amazing test!
MMO works when you have a slight lifter problem from sticky build up
If it's plugged up, you more than likely but using a high paraffin oil and either been doing very short trips or not been changing it often enough and it's got it badly sludged
I've de-sludged engines with this stuff. It works good for cleaning.
I had a 2.7L Chrysler V6 where it took over an hour to drain the oil out because the owner had cooked all the oil in it so badly. I did three oil/filter changes in a week with MMO, and saved it from going to the junkyard. The first oil came out so nasty it looked like Satan himself had whizzed in my drain pan. After the third oil change, the car ran like it was brand new, and those 2.7L engines are notorious for seizing due to sludge.
The sludge and loosened carbon didn't damage the internals?
I have 2003 f150 4×4 lariat with 218k, it's been ticking on cold start but goes away after engine warms up. Figure its lifter and Mechanic at my job to me about mmo. He said try it before I have them replaced.
How do you one it removed sludge. Tell us
You sure thats a lifter? Never heard one sound like that.
Sounds like something more sinister
great stuff---used it for years-great cleaner and lubricant
At your next oil change, please use 5W-30 or 10W-30, not straight 10 weight oil. Add about 4 oz. of MMO to that oil change, and maintain that regimen at every oil change.
I'd really like to know in what alternate universe he purchased 10W oil. Do tell.
Timing chain
Ford ,for some reason, dual timings have a"older " for each side.
The problem is one pump down ,the other pump's up and is your problem.
If a driver doesn't drive aggressively the order will get stopped up thus wearing out the time and guides cause your noise.
Get a pair of those telescopes like the doctor wears use and he will help you find your ticket problem right to the point or or you can go real old school and use a broom handle you'll find your noise
sounds like it was becoming a 7.3 power stroke
jeramie bentley I think my little truck would simply hop like a frog down the highway if that were the case....lol
funny because I was watching videos on 7.3s and this is where it took me.
The sadness in the video above is that this test should have been run over a YEAR. Add it to your gas (4 oz per 10 gals of gas) and over a year you will begin to notice your car performance improve dramatically. I NEVER have used any additives in any car I ever own as I didn't believe in them. I am 70 years old and have had a lot of different performing cars. I currently have a 2008 Pontiac Solstice GXP (turbo) with GM sanctioned "GMPP" chips which steps the HP up to 340. After discovering the hard way that GM did NOT install the new chips correctly, I got them repaired. (took about 10 minutes with a soldering iron). The improvement in having THEM work correctly was beyond expectations. (it's a 4 cylinder roadster). I noticed a LOT of hesitation in acceleration. An old guy like me recommended Mystery Oil. I thought ... what the heck ... if it cleans my fuel system and keeps the gas tank clean I will be a happy camper. I am far beyond happy. It takes about a year to clean your entire fuel system. You won't notice for quite some time ... but slowly things will begin to improve. Idling speed, cruising speed, and general acceleration performance. The hesitation I once despised about the turbo acceleration is now HISTORY. I didn't take the car anywhere to have it tuned or checked or anything. Just the Mystery Oil. I am sold on this stuff. I am also religious about it. If you expect immediate results, you will be disappointed. If you are patient and do exactly what the instructions on the bottle say, you will be not only amazed but very happy you did it. Unlike the gentleman in this video, I have yet to try it in the Oil system. But I just might have to ... Mystery oil sells for about $4 a bottle @ Walmart. Quart bottles. You can get bigger if you want or have the need, depending on your driving mileage. Mostly? ... be patient and keep putting MO in ... you won't regret it.
My 2011 Chevy Silverado 5.3 l has developed a lifter tick. Going to try this out . Thanks for the video !!
+Brandon Guy No problem. Hope it works just as well as it did for mine. Took 3 days and 159 miles until my ticket was completely gone.
Brandon Guy So did it work? I'm having the same problem on my 2011 5.3
joe Rodriguez yes it helped . It’s not as noisy now . Still can barely hear it if I’m under my hood listening carefully .
My 2012 gmc 5.3 has a light lifter tick, I add a few ounces of mmo every oil change, before I got my 2012 gmc, I had an s10 4.3 v6, it had a bad lifter tick that mmo almost took out completely, it made it really quiet, but it took like 100 miles to work
The 5.3 have internal pcv valve built into drivers valve cover. Majority of the tick is crankcase pressure due to clogged or improper pcv valve.
Amazing difference.
Good job. Thanks for the vid.
Sold me for sure.
try using totally awsome degreaser and mix it with the engine oil it will get rid of most if not all the carbon build up.
Thanks for the video. I’m going to do this every oil change.
Thank you, my car sound just like it
I think I'm going to do that same thing you did.
I had a '99 Chrysler 300M that had a lifter tic almost that bad. Put in MMO at the oil change. Tic went away, drove it another 50,000 miles. It really works.
So how did it work out for you, Julian?
that is insane how much of a difference mmo made.
Itskoru Yea, I was very impressed by the results. It's November now and still no ticking sound. I think I did this video in June or July.
I use that for ever thing seized my dirt bike up once put some of that in the cylinder let it sit overnight bike fired up the next day
timpanellimike87 Good idea, I might try a little in my Briggs Power washer before taking out the carburator which I think is the culprit.
@@JourneyToTheTruthandTR what about now?
Wow I cant believe the difference!
Dude, what was the problem with the truck?? I think it was rod knock .
I had an intermittent tick in my Dodge, and I tried this method. It went away for a while, but then all of a sudden it returned, accompanied by a misfire. Turned out to be a broken upper piston ring.
I had a 3.0L Ranger with a slight tick. I ran this in it for a week and it hasn’t come back.
If this is true it's really impressive.
Most people would just tell me, "just get a new truck" haha
did you put the magic oil back in after first change
and do you use it all the time now
That's a yes. I use it in my oil and gas. Truck still runs without the annoying lifter sound. Been over a year now.
I put marvel mystery oil in a 2008 LS 460 that had a ticking (noise lifter), It holds 9.1 quart of oil with filter I put in about 12 ounces and after a few minutes at idle it was definitely a little quieter. 😉 after a couple days & couple days of driving and sitting in the garage there is absolutely no ticking noise. The car had 90K on it when I put MMO in the crankcase and now I have 135K and haven’t used Marvel oil again and have never had any ticking noise. When I changed the oil after adding MMO that I it was black as diesel oil.
Again and the engine has absolutely know ticking noise got quieter and quieter until now there is no ticking noise whatsoever. However MMO did not decrease oil consumption as at approx 1200 miles I am always 1 qt. low.
Can't help but think I hear a deeper knock in the engine towards the end of the video. Sounds like you could have a rod going on you. Your stuck lifter was fixed but it sounds as though you have an issue with a rod to me.
It's a Ford Triton engine.The only fix is to replace it.Ask any Ford mechanic, it has to do with valve phase and undersized oil supply channels that clog and cause the valves to hit the pistons.The cheapest fix, and the one recommended by Ford, is to replace the engine.
Been almost 2 yrs now. Engine works fine. MMO worked.
@@JourneyToTheTruthandTR it fun to shun the "proper" croud!
As they say the proof is in the pudding..Car companies want to sell you shit when you can fix the problem with 2 bottles of tried and tested MMO
For everyone out there. If there is wear on the parts to the point where your pushrods are now too short or you have a bottom end issue.. this will probably not fix your issue.
My 07 Suburban had lifter problems, classic problem for Suburbans .. Marvel cleared the problem for me, tapping went away. Now I just add a small amount after every oil change and it does the trick. Problem is not many people floor these engines to kick out the sludge and crap because of the design. Make sure to floor the truck on the highway and let it run through the gears at least once a week. This will pull that sludge crap out instead of collecting on the lifters. The Marvel does the trick, but your lifter problem sounds pretty bad.
This product works!
That's not your lifters, that's your timing chain guides...Eventually you have to replace them, no oil is going to fix it....This is a common problem with the Ford 4.0 sohc engine...The marvel mystery oil being as thin as it is probably will make more noise, A thicker oil may be more of your friend here...
+Peter S That would be awesome if I had the 4.0. Easy fix, but and there's always a but. My engine is the 3.0 6 cylinder. It does not have timing chain tensioners. Plus it was not my front timing chain.
Been 7 months now and no knocking or tapping sound. MMO worked.
My bad I assumed you had the 4.0....Glad the marvels working for you ...
+Peter S No problem. Input is always welcomed. I made the video for people who are in rough times and can't afford a costly repair or replacement. Many don't have the knowledge or tools to do the repair and with used vehicles being more popular than ever it doesn't hurt to give the MMO a try. It made a believer out of me.
Plus dealerships use kerosene, atf, MMO as well to get rid of knocking sounds in the lifters. But atf and kerosene can only run in your vehicle for about 20 minutes before you have to replace the oil and filter.
I put MMO in my gas at every refill now as well.
JourneyTotheTruthandTotalRandomness
Im glad the MMO worked for you! You can definitely hear the difference.
Ive used a quart of diesel, but like the kerosene, about 20mins, then drain the oil...
On the other hand, ATF can actually be added to the oil and be driven. It is very similiar to the MMO as its thin viscosity and gets into the oil passages easier than 5W or 10W oil... have a mechanic friend that recommends 1 quart of ATF with your oil, drive it for 100-300 miles, then drain oil and change filter, top up with fresh oil.
He says as long as theres no damaged parts, it usually takes away most ticking noises.
Thanks for the vid!
I have a question. I live in a really hot than a cold as hell environment. Am I doing my engine any good by putting in a thinner oil in the winter and than a 10 weight in the summer ?
There is a lot to be said for changing oil on a regular basis. Mmo is a great product but nothing can replace regular maintenance
Most engines make less noise after a good warmup
