It only works with the 85MPG carburetors

Probably a derivative of Motor Honey with a good measure of snake oil mixed in......

Snake Oil is the best additive for cars ever invented! Doesn't everyone use it in their oil, gas, tranny, and morning coffee? I do!

PoD

Motor-butter? What, do you toast the engine, butter it and jam it back into the chassis?

At $200+ per gallon, I would call it Motor GOLD!!!

I haven't needed to oil my snake, not since I got married anyway.

Sir, you deserve a medal for that one. It was predictable, but my tummy is still sore from laughing.

There used to be a snake oil marketed as "Marvel Mystery Oil", and that stuff was for real. A bit of it in the gasoline was a good thing. Not now.

There was also STP oil additive. The salesman woud dip a screwdriver in the stuff, and challenge the mechaics to hold the screwdriver between finger and thumb.

Today, we have synthetic oil. It's better.

Bill,

Are you saying the stuff marketed as 'Marvel Mystery Oil' today is no longer effective in gas/oil?

I use it all the time in every car I own. Every motor gets 250K plus.

Just checking to ensure I ain't doing something wrong!

I have to say I agree. I have always used it, and while I don't have enough mechanical knowledge to make a real argument, I still use it.

There is ALWAYS going to be a "new" product to buy, whether it's one of the new "cleaning" agents that comes out every six months guarenteed to clean everything on earth with no wiping and no labor, or a new oil additive that will make your car last forever.

The only REQUIREMENT is that it must have a catchy name, like honey, silk or butter.

Anyone want to market "EXTRA CREAMY MOTOR PUDDING" with me.

You put up the money, and since I'm so smart and handsome, I'll do the TV late night adverts.

But what's the trans-fat or cholesteral content of Silk?

'Sides, turns out that the old naturals are better for you anyway.

Butter for me! Since i went back to bacon eggs and butter plus the occasional hamburg per day, and min carbs, my chol count has dropped thirty points.

Dummy!

My grandfather, and auto mechanic, used graphite in his oil decades before it appeared on the market... and that old 52 Buick Roadmaster was still rock solid when he made the mistake for trading it for a Pinto.
