I see no benefit of adding 5w oil to either the fuel or oil. Adding oil to the fuel makes your mixture lean. Adding 5w oil to the oil tank lessens the amount of 40w oil in the tank.

My use for MMO would be maybe to add some to the gas and oil about 100 miles before a oil change, thinking that it might keep the clutch plates clean, and the carb also.

That's like saying I had a scarf on when someone threw open a door and broke my nose so I'm never wearing a scarf again.

Very faulty logic being applied.

In older air cooled aircraft engines the lead in the fuel was used to lubricate the valves in the valve guides. When AVGAS 130 was banned and replaced by 100LL, some pilots used MMO as a "top oil" to lubricate the valve train.

Posts: 124	Re: Gas and oil Reply #14 - 12/20/16 at 14:04:19 C-85 and O-200/O-300 Continentals are prone to having lead deposits build up on exhaust valve stems. MM helps soften deposits and prevents valves sticking. I used to use it all the time on my Cessna 150.
