MMO is totally different and is an upper cylinder lube. I use MMO faithfully in the Model A, and my seasonal engines get either the Star Brite of Sta Bil product in ADDITION to running them dry at end of season. This has helped in all cases save for deteriorated vinyl fuel connections.
Hey, Bruce:

As I said in a private message to another Fordbarner:

"Sta-bil (the pink stuff) is useless with ethanol.

We really need to use the BLUE stuff.

Star Brite's "Star Tron" was the pioneer in this field... and was universally adopted by the marine industry... so that's what I use.

Sta-Bil now has a blue formula.... but I have no desire to switch brands.

I add MMO for other reasons, and my formula works for me."
