Funny you should mention that. I once had a friend give me a can of "Marvel
Mystery Oil", which you're supposed to add to EVERYTHING, gas, oil, darn
near anything with a fill cap, for all sorts of spectacular performance
improvements. Of course, it was a sick joke, but it got us wondering just
what the stuff was...

As best I can tell, it's Dexron II automatic transmission fluid. I didn't
do an analysis, but it looks, feels, and smells like ATF.

Anyone know what this "magical blend" really is?
