Team...just wondering… Found the liquid of MMO in the bottle this morning not clear, but turbid/cloudy in appearance.  The temp outside this morning was at 0F.  I think the cold temp could make MMO turbit/cloudy in appearance.  Just wondering if this is an issue on performance?????

Your bottle had been previously opened?

Yes.  The bottle was about half empty.  Stored in my trunk.

I’d suggest bringing the bottle in out of the cold and setting it down so it rests stably a bit off plumb.  It’s possible some moisture got into the bottle after it was opened, and condensed/froze in the cold.  With the bottle a bit off plumb, the low point would be along the bottom edge, so if there was enough moisture to form a droplet, it would sink to the low point and you might be able to see it.

OTOH, it’s possible that the stuff simply turns cloudy in cold temps, in which case it would clear up as soon as it warmed up.

Hmm, something to test next cold snap
:-D

MMO should be clear at that temperature unless it was previously opened, as stated by memnoch74.  MMO is known to provide the benefit to scavenge some water out of a vehicle’s fuel and oil.  Exposure of a opened bottle in high humidity could result in product turbidity.  It will not affect MMO’s overall performance.  Hope this helps!
