No experience or real Scientific data or test. "Just trust my expert Theory".
Wow, you're off to a great start here on BITOG..
Having said that, you're off the mark here. Molakule knows his stuff, has tons of real-world experience, knows the underlying scientific data, etc.. He's the expert, and his statements are based on real data, not just theory.
....
Having said that, I CAN speak from experience. I
used to use ATF in my oil as a "flush" up until about 3 years ago. In fact, one of the reasons I joined BITOG is because I was curious about that kind of thing and what was "good practice" vs. what was "bad practice". As I say, I
used to use ATF as a flush/cleaner, but I stopped doing that, and ultimately switched to MMO after finding out, from Molakule, that ATF was not a good way to do it.
MMO has proven to be a much better "add-in" product to do light cleaning of the engine internals. I say this from experience... MMO >>>> ATF
... I'll also add one other thing. You said "I've experienced no adverse affects or known damage." - Absence of evidence of harm is not proof of benefit. All you can say is that you have
not seen any apparent proof that it's not causing damage.
Great point. By the counter, do you have proof the counter?
Without knowing Molakule, I never doubted or proposed that Molakule does not know is stuff. Based on your post I'm confident that He must, and do respect that. But...... others are entitled to their own opinion, but.... not their own facts. Discussion of counter is good. And I am entitled to my opinion with the same due respect here as I have given all other posters.
One is entitled to have a difference of opinion about today's current transmission fluids as opposed to, years ago. Same as some here point out oils today and the benefits. Are whale products still used in the current transmission fluids I used in my application and experience? NO. Are Old oils the ones I am using (by date purchased)? NO.
