I think there’s a reason it’s called automatic transmisssion fluid and not “motor oil”.
Me neither. I wouldn't recommend atf in an engine either since it has no place to be in one but Im just stating how it can possibly work for some. But if you're having an issue that the atf is trying to remedy it would be best to actually remedy the issue itself which is most likely a dirty engine making motor oil try to cling to the filth with highly detergent oil such as ultra platinum has shown to be and naphtha is just a main ingredient in a lot of engine flushes. I use it in my diesel kubota every now and then. Have used it in my gas engines once just to see if they can pull anything and it probably busted up some varnish because it did darken up a bit pretty fast but only a little.
All motor oils are gonna be detergent from their base stock and detergents but ultra platinum does seem to clean more than just a regular oil as others also say and some have posted analysis's on. I'd use it once if I had to clean a dirty engine up. Other than that I'd just get the regular platinum for normal changes.
Yeah
Never used rislone but others say it works and I don't see it harming an engine. Although a ticking engine that's capable of being remedied by atf is probably just dirty and should be cleaned instead.
I believe I saw an sds of it being like a diesel based thing with a few other things with mint scent because it did smell like it. It's too thick to be atf. You can just shake the clear bottle around. A Naphtha and kerosene base is common for engine and fuel treatments.
No, MMO is NOT ATF. They are both colored red, hence the confusion. MMO is a form of Stoddard's oil (what ever that is)
Yeah to me it's just a fancy kerosene with something else, red coloring, and a mint leaf. Seafoam is mostly naphtha with a bit of denatured alcohol I believe and another thing but the naphtha is what does a lot of work and why people say to use it in a crank case.
