I put about 2 oz in my fuel in my airplane (37 gallons of fuel) every other fill up.

you can either put it your gas or your oil. helps clean your engine either way. i would recommend using it in both
1123640
Yep- both. Approximately 4oz. With each gas fill-up & a bottle (to replace 1 quart of oil) when you change oil.

If adding to oil; use for one qt. of oil. If adding to fuel I believe it's 8 ounces per 10 gallons of fuel. MMO is more economical that other additives and works great. I remember the first time I saw MMO was in an airplane hanger. It just works. Instructions for use are on the back of every bottle.

I always go by the manufacturer recommended interval, regardless of the oil quality (I always use synthetic). Good oil only serves me as a guarranty of longetivity of my engine. my vehicle has a "maintenance minder" that takes into account accumulated revs. rather than the distance; it usually goes on around every 5k miles. my vehicle is mostly used in the city. it is a 2008 Honda Ridgeline with 130,000 miles designed for conventional oil, I've never had to top my oil, and run as smooth as silk.

Slick 50 will likely get "consumed" just like regular oil. If your truck has a consumption issue, NO additive will help in any meaningful way nor will it fix the "problem". Take it to a good mechanic and find out WHY it is "consuming" oil, and if your truck is worth it, have it repaired. hth.Stay happy,HiP

I've always added just after I pour the last of my new oil into the engine. Not saying this is best or only way however as long as you get this product into the engine is what matters. It will take a couple hundred miles before it will fully affect anything.

I was wiping down the inside of my truck with a rag and some water. It was super dirty because I work in the oil indusrty. I had the hard drive in my truck. I took it out to clear out my truck and I dropped it in a bucket of water before I had a chance to use it. For a split second I was gonna grab it but got mesmerized by the bubbles that came from it. Would not recommend this item be used to create bubbles. Found some cheaper ways to do this. Highly recommend blowing into a straw instead. Let me know if this works for you as well. Not sure if the straw/bubbles it produced was a fluke. I was wiping down the inside of my truck with a rag and some water. It was super dirty because I work in the oil indusrty.

on the bottle it says add to 4 gallons of fuel in tank... around a quarter tank... drive for a few miles then fill up.... I used this product and drove my car on the highway doing 65 mph in one gear lower to increase engine rpm.... it worked great then I filled up with premium..... just follow the directions though that's all you can get the directions from the MR. Gasket website.

I mix in gas after i put in the correct amount of oil so i can get %100 of the oil out of the container. I have had small amounts of gas and oil mix in the bottom on several occasions for weeks and weeks with no ill effect. Having said that I would not store gas in the container as it is not approved for it; but would it kill it? I highly doubt it.

I thought to merely click on "I don't know," but that seemed a little too dismissive. The fact is, the jury is out--completely out as far as I am concerned--over whether ethane does damage to an engine, how much damage occurs if it does do damage at all, and then there are other problems it may cause--primarily in emissions. I know many race car drivers, and they are big believers in ethane, mixed in at very small doses, often with a very small dose of distilled water, and all this assumes that the engine is operating at a higher temperature than most engines on the road do. My preference is to stay away from ethane, if possible. (Often you don't know if it is mixed in with the gas you buy or not.) Whether MMO would help with ethane damage, I truly don't know. I suspect it would because of its lubricating properties, but I'm not sure. If you call the factory, I suspect they will just tell you it would since they kind of put themselves in the role of cheerleader for their product. So this is the best I can do. Maybe someone with more knowledge of chemistry than me could give a better opinion, although I have read arguments and counterarguments by chemical engineers and they don't agree with each other. As far as I'm concerned, it's still very much in the experimental stage. I suspect in 10 years either it will be getting used a whole lot more, or it will have disappeared from our gasoline entirely.

I had to return it for the sane reason. Check the oil level though. Aomeone told me that may be the reason.

Your husband probably mixed oil in the gas. He probably has power equipment that requires premix, like a chain saw. You probably then put the premix in your generator, rather than pure gas.

It adheres to the surface of all moving parts but will wear away over time/use. I believe the claim of "up to 30K miles", but more frequently is probably better in the long run. Using a full can per oil change may be overkill due to the cost/can. I do like the idea of adding "some" with each oil change and I've noticed a few of the synthetic brands actually have MOS2 in them, so that might make a difference in how much you add. The harder thing to decide is the optimal amount for your car.

Oil/gas mix. I use regular gas and it works fine although I sometimes run 91 through it. I've never had issues with regular. You must mix with oil.

I can't provide a technical answer to this question. You might want to consult the site, www.techron.com, for information provided by the company's fuel engineering staff. Personally, I use only this one product for preventative maintenance reasons in my own vehicles to avoid future problems.

This is used for newer diesels. There is another tank that you fill and from what the directions say you don't mix with the diesel fuel itself. Hope this helps.

I really can't answer for certain. How old is your engine (years & miles).It is a fact that new engines dirty the oil much more slowly than older engines. I suppose it's possible the filter is faulty or improperly fitted. You might try another brand to see if it performs any better which I strongly doubt.

we have several of these pumps and although it is possible to draw some oil from a system during any 400 to 600 micron system we consider this the best pump we have used. The pump has oil, the system has oil so oil can be an issue. I suggest you review your hookup and operational process before going further. Also the longer the hoses the more oil can be extracted from the system during evacuation. Lesser CFM pumps never pull hard enough to be problematic. We never use more than a 7 cfm model because of this situation. You could have a problem.

It appears to help gas mileage a little bit. I was getting 13.7 miles/ gallon in my 15' Dodge Journey and now I'm getting 14 and some change. Its miniscule, but does improve it. Hope this helps.
