Yes, but from my understanding, to determine how flammable a particular
oil is, it's their flash point. The flash point for motor oil is
pretty high. That is if you hold a burning match to it, it will not
ignite right away it takes a hi temperature flame to get it to burn.
Where the Marvel Mystery Oil should have a much lower flash point
because it can be use in the fuel system, so it will catch fire much
faster if a buring match is held to it.
Please keep in mind this is only my guess on how Marvel Mystery oil
performs from reading the material on the bottle. I've never used
this product. Perhaps someone on the list can test my theory out
if they have a bottle of Marvel Mystery oil on hand.
