I've always been kind of a skeptic with oil additives, especially when the last one I tried raised the oil pressure so high, it blew out the seal on the oil filter. However, I did get some Marvel Mystery Oil when I decided to attempt to start the motor on the '53 Plymouth for the first time (The Plymouth did start and run...that Flathead six is an amazingly quiet and smooth motor). I was so impressed with the results in the Plymouth that I decided to try it in the Sprite. Holy cow! The motor felt stronger and revved smoother than I ever recall. Maybe some of it was the perfect weather conditions - 70 degrees, sunny and dry, but I couldn't believe how much zip the car had today. 2nd gear runs up to 4500 rpm were a breeze.
Considering that the motor rebuild is on hold while I'm working on the Plymouth, this was a good development. My question is, how often do you put the additive into the oil? With each oil change? Considering that the Sprite has automatic self changing oil every 1200 miles, give or take another 100 - 200 depending on how long the car sits (I tend to lose more through leakage than through burning), I'd assume after I put the fourth new quart of oil since the oil change in, I'd go ahead and put in the additive.
