Any of you guy's ever use mystery oil? I heard that it helps your valves and rings. I have a old John Deere M that has sticky valves and burns oil. Is there any defects? Thanks.

Yes... but I add it to fuel for my old diesels to put a back little extra lubricity after they took the sulfur out here in California.

Picked up a stuck JD B last week. Shot the cylinders with MMO. Rolled the engine over a couple of days later. You tell me. I use it in all of my old tractors and have been for years. Good stuff! Just my 2 cents.

Never used much mystery oil, but years ago we used to use shalers Rislone in about everything that ran..Read their Web Page.. Sub'd it for 1 qt of oil and then gently poured some into carb with engine at fast idle. That was when it was about 50 cents a qt, seen some concentrate the other day and seems was about 3 bucks. No quick fix in a can but I am a real believer in Rislone. With oil qualities nowadays Nothing recommended for newer engines anymore. Definately not in gas tank on new vehicles. Not even fuel inj. clnrs.

Heck yes!
Note though that different engines react differently to it. I've never had any good reaction from an engine with a catalytic converter, seems like it builds up in the cat and burns off later, very smelly.
Lawnmowers love the stuff, 1oz in every other tank of gas. 1oz in the tractor gas too.
I don't like to have it in gas thats going to sit for any amount of time. I figure it might help the gumming up, but I don't have any real proof.

I doubt it'll really fix anything on your Deere, it MIGHT help the valves a little (danged little) but it probably won't do anything for the burning oil. Sounds like you've probably got a high hour engine that needs a rebuild. The is no chemical "magic bullet" that will fix an old engine.

I use MMO in a crappy Briggs & Stratton to cure sticking valves. Seems to help.

Oh sure, in a little crappy engine I think you'd find a world of difference with a dose of mmo. In fact I can't BELIEVE I haven't put any into my hard starting poorly running White mower...

Dang, thanks for the wake up.
