You may be surprised, are there some rules to use it! Yes, there are. You have to maintain the amount, time, fuel/motor oil amount, and others. Worry not, it is very easy to use it.

In this article, I will explain, "How to use marvel mystery oil?" I will discuss it step by step. So, keep reading the article and learn the proper ways to use MMO.

Step 1: Proper Timing

It's better to maintain good timing while changing the marvel mystery oil. It is recommended to replace up to 20% of the oil with marvel mystery oil.

You can add marvel mystery oil to the oil anything you want. But better to mix when it is up to three hundred (300) miles prior to the next oil change.

Step 2: Fill up the Tank

The first thing is you have to fill up the gas tank. Go to any gasoline station and fill up the tank. Calculating the amount of marvel mystery oil you need, depends on the fuel amount.

I suggest you fill the tank with a particular amount of fuel that is divisible by five. That will be easy to calculate the amount of marvel mystery oil.

Step 3: Calculate the Amount of Marvel Mystery Oil you Need

Now it's time to calculate how much oil you need. Generally, you need two ounces of marvel mystery oil for 5 gallons of fuel.

If there are 10 gallons of fuel then you need to pour 4 ounces of marvel mystery oil. You can check out the mystery oil bottle. There you will get the Instructions. Calculate it wisely and don't mess while pouring.

Step 4: Pour the Oil into the Tank

It's time for the main part of the task. Now pour the oil into the tank. Be careful about pouring it. Pour the oil slowly and stop while pouring it. Check out the amount of oil you are pouring. Pour the right amount of oil into the tank.

As soon as you fill the right amount stop filling. Now close the cap of the gap and your task is done.

How to Use Marvel Mystery Oil in Motor Oil?

It is a bit more complex than the past one. Here I am explaining this part.

Necessary Tools

You need some tools to use marvel mystery oils. Here is the list

  • Motor Oil
  • Marvel mystery oil
  • Socket wrench
  • Filter wrench
  • Oil filter
  • Funnel

Now learn it step by step

Step 1: Remove the Plug 

The first step is to drain the motor oil into the engine. For that, you need to remove the plug from the oil pan. You can use a socket wrench to do it. It won't take a big effort or much time.

Step 2: Remove the Oil Filter

You can do it using your hand. Just unscrew it using your hand. If you face problems then you can use a filter wrench. Loose the screw and replace the oil filter with a new filter. Ensure a tight sealing of the filter. For that, you can put a little amount of oil on the filter gasket. 

Step 3: Tighten the Oil Pan

Now it's time to tighten the oil pan again. You can use a socket wrench in tightening it easily. I think you will need no help to loosen or tighten screws.

Step 4: Follow the Manual and Calculate the Amount of Oil

Don't pour oil just by hearing people's advice. 

Get the manual and determine how much oil it requires. If you lost the manual then you can search for it on the internet.

Step 5: Pour the Motor Oil

It is an important part. Now you have to pour oil, keeping a gap for marvel mystery oil. Most of the people asked how oil should fill and how much space should not be.

You have to keep one-quart gap from the suggestion. Suppose, the vehicle requires 5 quarts oil. So, you have to fill 4 quarts oil and keep 1 quart left for MMO.

Use a funnel to pour the motor oil. Make sure you pour the right amount of motor oil. If you overfill with motor oil then the vehicle will lack MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil).

Step 6: Pour the Marvel Mystery Oil

This is the final step of the task. Take a funnel and pour marvel mystery oil (1 quart).

Screw the oil fill cap tightly. Now you need to turn on the engine of the vehicle. Let it idle for a few minutes. Now turn off the engine.

Check out the dipstick. Make sure the oil level is sufficient. If it is low then add some oil again. Check out the oil level again.

It is done.
