Subject:marvel mystery oil

I think this is too much marvel mystery oil... its
great stuff, I use it all the time. Add just a bit to
my gas almost every time I put gas in... and put just
a bit in my oil when I change it, and whenever the
hydraulic valves act up (which sometimes is just
because I drove only across the street after
starting... ie, not enough)...... but.. one full quart
in your oil... thats too much... esp if you run high
speeds.... the oil can get too thin and that buzzy
will make your head spin hard when you decelerate off
an off-ramp...

rebuild the CV joints, added a hot-start relay,
installed the HD Bilstein shocks, and changed the oil
(Castrol 20W50 and 1 qt of Marvel Mystery Oil.
