If I add 100% NATURAL tea tree oil to my crank case will it clean effectively without damaging internal components and seals?

I CAN TRULY GOTTA SAY I'VE NEVER HEARD THAT ONE!

IF IT WERE A "PROVEN" THING, I'D THINK YOU WOULD FIND IT ON A SHELF AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE

I USE IT FROM TIME TO TIME---I ALSO RECOMMEND IT A LOT

YOUR TURN

No idea, but Marvel Mystery Oil has wintergreen oil in it, which is good at dissolving gunk while still providing lubrication.
