buy your self a lottery ticket same result, if you are having engine or fuel system problems look somewhere else. Marvel Mystery Oil is good as a lubrication oil but so is any thin oil is but your money soon to be theirs

This thread may take off soon lol, the diesel additive debate lol.
I don't believe marvel would do any damage to a system but I also don't think it would do much good, the quantity you would use would get expensive.
I have a 05 4320 and I add a small bottle of 2 cycle to the tank, idk if it helps it mechanically but I mainly use it because the tractor is noticeably quieter and smoother, I don't add nearly as much as people say to add, my tank is 10 gallons and I add like a 2-3 oz little bottle in there after I fill up, every time I do she settles down a bit while idling.

Marvel is Great for breaking loose stuck engines or cheaper yet acetone and brake fluid mixed together
there was a big thread on this a while back concerning additives for wear reduction,
iirc there was a linked test with data suggesting that bio diesel was more effective than many of the expensive additives.
yeah- good chance there are some (differing) opinions on diesel additives :laughing:
