ATF fluid and engine oil cleans engine

i put ATF fluid in my engine the day before i get an oil change... ATF fluid's supposed to be a detergent and cleans out all the deposits... then once they drain it, you have a clean engine with clean synthetic going in... if you think i'm joking.. i'm not...

It works amazing wonders..but it really raises the friction level from thinning out the oil.. doing it the night before an oil change can clean your engine VERY well.. did this on my old 74 coronet after I got it.. Changed out the oil..was a little dirty.. put in new oil and a quart of ATF.. drained the oil the next day it was black from all the oil sludge that built up in the oil pan over the years.. our civics are new and this should never be a problem so don't put ATF in your oil!!!

Cheers
