Used as an oil additive in conservative amounts, it can quiet sticky, gummed up lifters and similar old-gunky-engineness.
Color me dubious when it comes to zinc content.
Personally, I use it as air tool oil.
Down to just a blue car now.

Silenced the lifters in my 318
The stuff rocks, my dad used it all the time.

I use it in my air tools. I love the wintergreen aroma

Local AutoZone doesn't carry it, so I used "Seafoam", same kinda stuff, great results in freeing up stuck lifters.

This is copied from another thread. We analyzed and tested both of these additives at Exxon. Marvel Mystery oil is 30% varsol (charcoal lighter fluid) and 70% 30wt base oil some red dye and wintergreen fragrance. It is from the late 1920s. Avblend is very light weight paraffinic base oil (sewing machine oil)with 1% ether and blue dye. It is from the late 1950s. If it is absorbed by the metal, why doesn't it leak out of the can? These are solvent type products. Some people find them beneficial for sticky valves or some sludge dispersal. If you are depending on them for either of these reasons, you have bigger problems. Both evaporate within hours in an engine. Neither one provides any corrosion protection or anti-wear benefit. Neither one will harm anything in the recommended concentration.

70% Light Aromatic Oil (Pale Oil) - It is a Naphthenic Oil, so while it oxidizes faster than a Paraffinic oil, it does clean and dissolve sludge and carbon well and cleans up after itself from any oxidation. serves as base oil as well. [Naphthenic oils have more solvency and are more polar (they are attracted to metal more), but oxidize faster. 29% Mineral Spirits - Cleans Varnish very well. General cleaner. Also acts as an antioxidant. 38 parts per million (ppm) Boron - AW/EP agent, friction reducer, antioxidant 900 ppm Phosporous - AW/EP agent 1/2% 1, 2 ortho-Dichlorobenzene - EP agent as it interacts with Iron to form an Iron chloride barrier under any ZDDP or other AW additives. Also very good cleaner/solvent, and friction reducer 1/4% 1, 4 para-Dichlorobenzene - EP agent as it interacts with Iron to form an Iron chloride barrier under any ZDDP or other AW additives. Also very good cleaner/solvent, and friction reducer Oil of wintergreen - for the scent - Not just for the cent, is also a cleaner. may aid lubricity. Red Dye - for the color - well this one just colors the stuff http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/forums/ubb...;gonew=1#UNREAD

What is a "Wilbert" burial vault?
