Works pretty good as air tool oil, cutting oil, cooling oil, and to keep your tools from rusting (as opposed to ATF) but other than that beats me. I don't believe in Seafoam though.

Works good for cutting and I use it for my air tools as the above comment stated, beyond that, I wouldn't trust it. Then again I also don't believe in Seafoam.

I could get you pages of positive feedback from it and if I told you how mills and Blains sells of it you would flip.

Works for cleaning out rotary engines and un-sticking apex seals.

I'm not big on engine cleaners...I've used MM though as cylinder lube for initial start-up (I'll usually use an oil squirter to shoot a little in each cylinder), and after and engine has been sitting for a LONG time prior to restarting. Also on an engine that's going to sit for a long time.

My father has been a rep for TW who makes Mystery Oil for over 20 years. there are real die hard farmers and people that swear by it. People say they've been using it in their tractors and trucks for a long time. I can't tell you how many pallets I've unloaded of it at Blain's, Mills, Weaver auto and other retailers. I'm sure they aren't buying it because it dosen't work.

I use MM and WD-40 50/50 mix for after run oil in the nitro model boat engines. Has been good to me so far.
