That wouldn't be no problem for me, atleast I know that I'm doing the job as good as possible. Also read on different forums that ATF also is a really good flushing and cleaning element. Some recommend draining 1l of oil and filling the engine up with 1l of ATF about 50 miles before an oil change for cleaning the internals, some say it makes wonders while other say that ATF is a fluid (not an oil) that is supposed to increase the grip on the internal gears of a transmission (which would be bad for an engine) while also keeping things smooth and lubrified, as opposed to engine oil which has only one main purpose, lubrifying. If someone tried this and could share their experiences I would really appreciate it, I don't want to mess things up more than they are haha, and I don't like doing things only because I heard from some random Joe that it made wonders for his pickup truck.
