Marvel Mystery Oil The only time I've ever had a oil additive actually do something was in a VW that had a sticking intake valve. The Marvel cleared up the sticking valve after running it a bit with it in the motor as it was a junkyard motor that sat for who know's how long. After they free up do a oil / filter change to get all the now loosened up gunk out of motor.
