Add 1 quart of ATF and run engine 5 min before draining oil.

LOL!!! is this what we call just over a litre? 

C'mon ..... I know you're only young, but you must surely know imperial unit!  A 'quart' is a quarter of a gallon ie 2 pints bear in mind though that a US pint is smaller than ours because it's only 16 fl oz (fluid ounce) & 'ours' is 20 fl oz 

lol, so is one quart not just over a litre then?

Nope .. as the poster is in the US of A ...

2 US pints = 1 US quart = .946 litres which is UNDER a litre

if he was in the UK .....

2 Imperial pints = 1 imperial quart = 1.137 litres .. which would be just over a litre



so HIS quart is not the same as YOUR quart

Is that not what I said  ........ I managed to avoid those nasty metric units & answer WHY the US quart is smaller than ours

Ffs, we're not debating "how much" ATF to put in an engine, are we? Surely!


The answer to which is obviously, none at all.

I used ATF in engines for about 18 years. I repaired my first engine about 18 years ago. I will change oil in my Catera soon. I will use 20W50 engine and a pint of ATF.
ATF works fine in cars with steering wheel on left side.
Do you use metric system in UK?
km, liters?

Nope ...

Have you tried putting sawdust in a diff to cure the noise

The powers that be have been trying to convert us to the metric system for over 30 years, but we're stubborn buggers. The speed limits on the roads are in miles per hour, we generally weigh ourselves in stones (14lbs + 1 stone) we buy beer in pints and although we buy our fuel in litres, we all work our car's fuel consumption out in mpg. If you venture into McDonalds, we buy 1/4lb burgers - Pulp Fiction clip 
If it's cold out, them we'll say it's -5 deg (C) but if it's hot, people will say 'Phew! It's in the 80s'

Not yet.
When I removed valve cover from my Jeep with about 200K miles, rocker arms were yellow, very clean.
Do you want a picture of cylinder heads I work on today? Owner never used ATF to keep engine clean.
If you don't take care of your engine, mechanic will.
