I run 6oz in my K241 and my KT17's oil, and 4oz to every 5 gallons of gas when I fill my gas can(s). When I first picked up my CCO that had the K241 in it, it smoked a bit and oozed oil out of the breather. Since it has stopped and runs flawless.

Ive heard of marvels mystery oil and a firm believer of it mystical powers, but have yet to use it. In my area its worth more as a kind of currency. I cant find the stuff anywhere! or maybe im just not looking for it in the right places. Where do you guys get yours at? and what does the bottle look like?

I've never used it but I looked for it online at autozone and it says my local one by me has it, so I would guess try your local auto stores. If its really this good I'm going to have to try it in one of our cars.

Is there any motor you CAN NOT use this in? The Onan's are not finiky about this stuff - won't harm anything in them? Not that they are special, but my luck by not asking, I'd screw it up!

What is this stuff like sitting in the gas in the winter time. Cold weather doesn't effect it enough to notice any gumming up? Do you guys who live up North and use your Cub in the winter ever put mythol hydrate (gas line anti-freeze) in your gas? I have to use it in my ATV gas to make it run right in the winter for plowing the drive. Was just wondering if you all have had any issues that way with moisture in gas?

Never had an issue in winter.. I follow the same gas "rules" as Merk, 30 days and into the full size stuff. My gas rarely sits for more than a week in the can. I never use line anti freeze since I run MMO. My quad is fussy on anything in the fuel, MMO seems to be about the only thing I can still run in it without starting issues in the super cold (-10 and below).

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
