Hi Joe,
I tried the Marvel Mystery oil in my dashpots and one time when I had
the bonnet up and was adjusting the carbs, the engine backfired and
the dashpots slammed up and the oil came squirting out of the
dashpots and left spots from the engine to the boot. Quite a mess.
I switched back to 20w-50 at the point.
