I have a can of Marvel Mystery oil here, and it says that:

It is my understanding that Tracy is adding this to his fuel, and running
Moble 1 synthetic for system oil.  I thought I read in one of the postings
here, that he is using the stock configuration oil injection, in addition to
Marvels Mystery oil in the fuel.  So in effect he is burning Moble 1 and
Marvels.

I forgot how Mobile one did in the Burn/Bake test, and Paul said that
Marvels was the worst of the batch he tested.

Is this what we have decided is most practicle?

Just trying to clear this up...

At 500 degrees it does indeed come apart. It leaves 
a nasty gummy residue.  Open all the windows
in your kitchen and get rid of the wife for a 
few days and try it :-) Mobil 1 breaks down into two 
components. A low viscosity component and a black higher
viscosity component. Two cycle and turbine oil beats both of these
by a bunch.

BTW the Mazda silicone oil control o ring has been soaking
at least a week in turbine oil with no problems so far.

IMHO two cycle oil for apex seals is the hot tip so far.
Mobil 1 is probably fine for system oil.
