For extra protection from cold weather starts you can't beat it. A pint of MMO to 7 quarts oil and it works great. Next winter try it in your vehicle for those cold morning start ups. Instead of hearing that metal on metal racket for the first couple of minutes after a cold start (which equates to many miles of wear) you only hear a nice purr. Works the same in the aviation engine.
If you run auto fuel, adding a few ounces of MMO to each tank keeps the pistons, rings and valves nice and clean as well as lubricated. Your plugs seem to last a lot longer too.
Thanks for the locate tips, guys. I'll check our local auto parts store.
