how do you want to use it? i once put that thing in with gas so it'll lubercate the top side of the pistion. man did it rob major power for that tank of gas. there are directions on the bottle too, jus follow their directions. i also use this on my rc car engine. i guess it works.

It's Marvel mystery oil. I use it in my air tools.

Iv'e had heard oldtimers say they use it in oil/gas, I don't think it helps much nowadays.

I got a can of that stuff around here. I too use it for air tools. Don't think I'd put it in my engine.

Ive seen people remove the spark plugs of cars that have been sitting for a long time and pour a little into each cylinder to help free up the rings incase they could be stuck.An old hot rod trick.It wont hurt to pour some in the cylinders since the rings may be rusted together against the cylinders.If that doesnt help,then you may need to do a rebuild anyway.good luck!

That's done if the car is sitting for months without being turned over. He's worried he might have hydro-locked. Here the damage would be caused in a split second, not from oxidation over time. When that piston comes up and tries to compress a combustion chamber full of water and can't...something will give, and it won't be the water.

if you sucked up some water, I hear you should take you spark plugs out turn the key, I remeber my dad did this once in an old jeep cj 4x4 when I was a kid, saved the motor. It will pump all the water out. I think you still have to replace spark plugs with new one because the water can foul them? I am not sure if this will work, but maybe
