I would pour it into my fuel filter everytime I would change them. That is the only time I ever used tranny fluid. I never had a problem

I've been running WMO and used ATF in my trucks at around a 60-to-1 ratio for over three years now. Both running smooth and quiet, better than ever. Commonrail is getting the best mileage at right around 20mpg in mixed driving.

I think the 1st Gen would probably do that too, if I could keep my foot out of it.

Use a fuel additive - Powerservice, Stanadyne etc. or TCW-3 2 cycle oil. 2 cycle oil is designed to burn clean and not leave any deposits. AFT is not designed for that.

i couldnt agree more
