The link has been posted on FCBO several times now to scientific data that proved the 50/50 far superior to any brand out there. I believe Kroil came in a distant second.

Does anyone else have a banner ad above for Kroil Penetrating oil? Amazing how this internet works, isn't it?

I was watching that "Lost in Transmission" show last night. They had an old Ford F100 with an engine that was pretty froze up.
So they squirted some "magic penetrating oil" in each cylinder. There was a slight mention that it included ATF, so I am pretty sure that 50/50 mix was the "magic".
This is all new to me...I've always been stuck using WD40 and/or Liquid Wrench before.

Wd40 doesn't even compare to Pb blaster. The magic mix was marvel misery oil on the show I believe.

Marvel mystery oil is another acetone/atf type mixture with mint oil added for its distinctive smell.

So marvel misery oil is atf and acetone mix? And that's what people burn through the engine in the gas? I'll mix my own.
I stopped counting the timez I clicked thank you to all the guyz that mentioned the 50%x50% ATF and Acetone mix in the 3 pagez of this thread but thanks X2 Stan for finding the test information and passing it on to the group. I waz looking for it and it haz apparently gone the same place my sockz go when she putz 'um in the dryer. The only thing I can add to what's been said about that mix is to shake it up every time before using because it will separate while standing and keep it closed up tight az mentioned earlier for the reason mentioned. The only thing I've found better then this 50%X50% mix for loosing stuff up that doesn't wanna be loosened iz ah fire wrench and Beez Wax and that combination is some timez not prudent because of space available or the material needing the adjustment and seperation, Jer

My socks disappear too. I buy a pack of 6 pair... 3 weeks later I have 2 pair left... I guess the dryer needs them.

I would be careful putting acetone in any fuel system! That stuff will melt plastic in a heartbeat...and lots of other stuff too.
According to this link, Marvel Mystery Oil more like 75% mineral oil and 25% mineral spirits (turpentine). Apparently, the original formula from the 1920s had a trace of LARD in it.

Definitely has an unusual smell!
Stan,
Thanks for the final say in this debate and the test results to prove it.
Can we just post this as a sticky in the Tech section?

I prefer this when I'm not working on a car!
BTW Steve. Not to kill the thread but we're thinkin' about yeah and hope you and yours are stayin' high and dry done there in Burneee. I know about those limestone hillz not able to suck up any water and what happens when it tries to find the gulf. We had 7" in 5 hours one time when we were livin' 'tween Austin and Drippin' and came with in an inch or two of havin' ah swimmin' pool in our little Ponderosa, very scary. Stay safe Pal, Jer
