way tooooo many additives like friction modifiers , antifoam and crap like that, not ment to be burnt so it maks an ash deposite that ends up in yer oil.............use 2 stroke oil as its ashless and ment to be burned

ps and tranny fluid is way old school like truckers from the 60's

I put it ATF every couple weeks. Seems to work like a charm. Hell some shops fill fuel filters with ATF instead of diesel. Now I don't think I'd run straight ATF though.
