Question about flushing the engine

[mikeroy420]

I read that someone put a bottle of automatic transmission fluid in their engine after break in to flush system. Is it ok to do this to the sr? Thanks

You've read correctly!! However, before you decide to pour a bottle of automatic transmission fluid into your freshly broken-in SR engine, you might want to click on the attached link for more information...

If you've ever watched the TV show, "MotorWeek", you'll know who the guy is that wrote this... he does a little segment on the tv show called Goss' Garage....

And as for pouring ATF into the engine, you have to weigh the options & see if it's worth the risk.

Hope this helps!!! Good luck.....
