my educated guess is ATF has a high level of detergents

you cant clean a motor back in to spec



its a 258, change the oil with some 10/30 and turn the radio up

1 qt in the motor oil.. run for 15 min and oil change...

the relative thinness of the fluid will help pump a lazy lifter back up....

theory

this too....

with all my vac leaks, timing issues, 100 octane fuel there could be some significant build up around the valves already...  could be causing a sticky valve or lifter..

I actually went to advance today... we don't carry techron, advance had buy 1 get 1 for a dollar...

Old Jeep thing?  The ATF does contain more detergents and in theory will clean the sludge out.  Haven't heard of it being used on anything newer than 1970...

One quart ATF and the rest regular motor oil.

I wouldn't do it with anything that I own currently.

I'm thinking it wouldn't hurt anything if run for such a short period.  Start the process with a warm engine and go for it.
