Default Head on down to the local Canadian Tire...

I live in the GTA as well - its been in just about every Canadian tire i've visited.. In the section where all the other fuel additives are held..

Default Really???

Im definately going to have to look around - I have a feeling that they both have the same contents..

Maybe they dont carry the oil additive in Canada for some reason..

if worse comes to worse, I can always head down to a Walmart in Buffalo

Default I put it in my 80q....

...the thing was so loud. It was "almost" embarrasing.

I'll post if the sound comes back after I change the oil. Although I won't be changing oil for a few months...since I just did it.

It wouldn't bother me if the sound came back after an oil change. I would just substitue the Mystery Oil for a qt of Mobil 1 on every oil change. It would actually be cheaper anyway. Substituing $2.50 a qt. Mystery Oil for $4 a qt Mobil 1 would be fine with me. As long as it keeps the lifters quiet I would keep saving money :-)

Default Thanks, I should be around for a couple of months. I knew a guy that added ..

one cup of Mystery Oil to his late 70's brand new Volvo from day one. At 120,000 everything was real good. He changed his oil every 3,000 miles.

Default The only ones I've seen anywhere are...

A red bottle that looks like a quart of oil, or the older style is a metal can. It can be used in the gas or oil, they don't differentiate between oil and gas that I've seen.

Default It's already starting to....

....chatter a little bit. It's not near as bad as it was but it's not dead quiet like it was when I had just added it.

If it keeps it quieter I'll keep using it. I also only have 1/2 a qt. of the Mystery Oil in at the moment. It's working pretty good with half a qt so far....maybe the whole qt would shut it up?? :-)

I'll keep you posted!!

P.S. The 80q is at 210k miles.....it's in front of the Volvo at the moment!! (Oil changes every 5-6k miles)
