OK. Now I'm confused. For years since circa (Latin for approximate time) 1978
I have been told by people who should know, that Marvel Mystery Oil was
approved for use in aircraft oil and gas. Now I'm hearing it's not so. Also
recently read an article in Flying Magazine, I think, written by a gal who is
an retired Fed that she always carried a can of it around in her airplane
wherever she went. I think her last name was Lunkin, as in "Sunkin Lunkin". (An
airport near Cincinnati).
So which is it? I use a little of it peiodically in the fuel and oil and
notice that there were little or no lead deposits on the plugs at the last
annual (77 hrs on engine for the year)and that those little pesky rust spots at
the top of the oil dip stick, disappeared.
I also bought some TCP (the legal stuff) but haven't used it yet under the
philosophy of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it".
So, just what is wrong with using Marvel Mystery Oil?
