Since lard makes up only 1%, I'm guessing it's added as a thickening agent. Mineral spirits are pretty thin so maybe they wanted to increase the viscosity, considering you can use up to a quart of it in your oil.
I just tried pouring some MMO in one of my cylinders last week to treat what I think is a sticking piston ring. After letting it sit for several hours, I removed the excess and started the car. Just as I'd read, it made a ton of dirty exhaust but had no apparent effect. I also added some to the crankcase and fuel, though my expectations were low there too. Maybe this is why the stuff is only $5 for a quart.
I'm now trying it again with Seafoam and am cautiously optimistic that it seems to be helping so far...
