Marvel Mystery Oil

Don't laugh, I've heard this is a good product.


I don't know if it is a good product or not, I've never used it (which means nothing), but it has been around for years. That in itself is interesting although lots of products which are worthless or worse are still on the market.

This is Turtle.

Marvel Mystery Oil is still good stuff for loosening stuck nuts and bolts, lube for die and threader machines, Clean Carberator body parts , clean or loosen up rusted tools, Carberator jets , Needle valves, and still is a good penatrating oil. WD-40 shot them out of the saddle when it come along for WD-40 is a hair better of stuff. Before there was WD-40 there was Marvel Mystery Oil. It is still sold at Auto Zone and O'Relly's Auto parts houses. OH Yea, Exxon Co. U.S.A. in the Bayton, Texas Refinerey still makes it.

Yes I still use it in my HVAC business on motors and mechinical timers and relays. If I don't have WD-40 I will still use it. I keep both on hand.

It's great when used in air tools or if you want to de-gunk an engine that went 24,000 without an oil change.
