Alternative fluids for ATF treatment??
Im just looking for stronger potions.
I know you can use Marvel Mystery oil but it is not as good as standard ATF.
I was just looking around on Redline's web site and I found this;
Redline 85 PLUS
Its a diesel additive that has a very high detergent value which is what we need to break up the carbon in our engines. The additive also says it reduces knock but who knows. I believe this is in oil form cause diesel fuel is actually oil. The only thing I do not like is that it raises the octane of diesel fuel by 5-9 points.
RED LINEŽ 85 PLUS is designed for use in all diesel engines. Contains extremely powerful lubricants, detergents, seal conditioners, fuel stabilizers, and rust preventatives, but without smoke suppressant. Instead, Red Line 85 Plus contains additional cetane improvers which will boost the fuel 5-9 cetane numbers and additional lubricants which can reduce wear in low-sulfur fuel by 75%. This improvement in lubricity and cetane will reduce detonation, assist starting, help reduce smoking, help prevent fuel system wear and leakage and can provide 5% additional power and efficiency.
What other fluids have a very high detergent factor?

I just used MMO and wasn't really that impressed. the car smoked for about 6 mins . I used a lot of that stuff and it sat in the motor for about 48 hrs. When i removed the spark plugs the plugs still smelled like the MMO. HHHMMMMM, but i think this would work much better.

What about brake fluid? It has an extremely high detergent content, but will it burn off? Is it synthetic? If it will burn, I am gonna try using it.
