Neither the Marvel Mystery Oil company nor the NTSB that investigated the cause of an airplane crash that they determined was due to the use of MMO, show any Wintergreen Oil in the product...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marvel_Mystery_Oil

The Company's 2015 MSDS says it is composed of...

-Petroleum Distillates (Hydrotreated Heavy Naphthenic) also known as mineral oil, 60-100%
-Petroleum Distillates (Stoddard Solvent) also known as white spirit, 10-30%
-Tricresyl phosphate, an antiwear and extreme pressure additive in lubricants 0.1-1.0%
-Ortho Dichlorobenzene, a softening and removing agent for carbon-based contamination on metal surfaces, 0.1-1.0%
-Para Dichlorobenzene, a precursor used in the production of chemically and thermally resistant polymers, <0.1%

According to the NTSB, it is composed of...

74 percent mineral oil, 25 percent stoddard solvent, and 1 percent lard.

If it works for you...great. But you might also try eating mashed potatoes instead.
