I have this "friend" ;) who accidentally poured about 1 measuring cup of M1 ATF into his engine before realizing it wasn't 15w-50. It was 5am and he wasn't quite awake yet. This "friend" ;) is kinda anal, so he chased it with some oil and drained and refilled. Would the ATF have done any damage if he would have left it in? :confused:

I've heard stories about people deliberately puting ATF in the oil to act as a cleaning agent...

Have no information on wether this works or not.
 
Tell you "friend" he will be just fine. ATF is basically 10 weight oil with a few detergents and die to identify it. There was no harm to the engine.
 
No worry, I use ATF to clean my engine too :grinpimp:
 
I had way more that than in the shortbus when I blew the seal between the power steering pump and motor. All the fluid from the powersteering system went into the engine, plus another quart that I added to get off the trail. Engine still running strong today.
