I dont run atf because of the friction additives in it. I do run 2stroke oil and power service though.

OOOOOOoooooold School Mechanics used to say "Use ATF in yer Diesel Fuel".
Things were a lot different back then.

AFT now has lots of additives to prevent burn-off, and prevent clutch discs slipping.
NOT what you would want to add to your engine or fuel system to make parts slippery or keep your combustion chambers clean.

There are many, many diesel fuel additives on the market designed to burn, and to make parts move when they're supposed to move.

Do not use ATF!! Not good!! Use Howes, or TCW-3 2 stroke oil, or better yet run a blend of bio diesel.

I too JUST started thinking about this and am going to use TCW-3 from WM along with some PS.

I'm thinking 12oz and 4oz unless someone tells me I'm wrong!
