    I'm kind of slow. At the MMO-recommended 4oz per 10gal, does that make the engine digest 3.125% or .3125% ? Because that might be significant or no big deal. Depending. But it's still LARD?

    Have you ever used break in oil? It's castol oil. Says it right on the bottle. Castol oil nothing more then plant oil.

    I'm with you that there is no objective statistically significant evidence that MMO does anything for either stuck valves or for that matter, lead scavenging, although it DOES have a tiny bit of TCP in it, which is used for lead scavenging. Multiple anecdotes do not equal data - I've NEVER used MMO in my engine over a 15 year period and have never had a stuck valve - what does that prove? But there's no evidence that it does any harm, either, unless you really don't like the smell (which I don't).

    With respect to the question of "lard", the MSDS for MMO:

    http://www.audiosears.com/MSDS/FS043...tery%20Oil.pdf

    indicates five total components, none of which are animal derivatives. There's no lard in MMO, according to the folks that make it.

    4/1280 = 0.003125, or 0.3125%. Other than sell some MMO, I can't imagine that it has any effect whatsoever, but YMMV.

    And no - see my post above - no lard, according to the MFG. Some weird OWT, apparently.

    The NTSB investigation indicates it can cause damage to an engine and an engine manufacturer seems to be convinced well- to the point they will void a manufacturer warranty.


    WRT the composition, I am not making any claims. Only reporting what the NTSB found

    Question,, Does adding any amount of oil to your fuel raise the BTU content of that fuel?

    He did not ask for opinions. Opinions are like ass holes. We all have them.
    I'm sorry. I thought you asked a question as well.

    If oil has more BTU per volume, I'm guessing "yes"
