I decid3d what the hell I have bad carbon deposits on my 2g pistons and by now likely valves too, I did a head about two years ago and noticed pretty bad deposits on the pistons.
This winter I was forced to drive the 2g as a daily and due to other car issues it is currently a dd again. It started smoking off and on during harsh winter driving. Seemed to kinda go away for a while now it's back.
Today after 2 months of dd and getting fed up with the amount of smoke rolling I decided to put 4oz of mmo and 5 gallons of 91 in and see what she does. So far idle is better, doesn't seem to affect anything negatively and smoking decreased.
Either the smoke is turbo seal blow by, valve guides, or worn piston rings. I have another turbo that's going on eventually but I'm waiting to do link, injectors and turbo at the same time.
Anyone else have anything good or bad to say about mmo? I know it can slightly effect octane rating but mmo is designed to burn CLEAN and help remove deposits. It was origionally designed to be used as supercharger oil and can burn along side fuel without issues. I'm still stock ecu, turbo and injectors so octane rating is much less likely to bother my engine vs a high hp tuned car.
