Huh?? How much faster? How much cheaper? If you have a dry stick engine it does not matter what you pour in there, ATF, motor oil, Kroil, PB etc. any of them will break it loose, because it is not very stuck. I used ATF for years, right up until about 15 years ago when I purchased my first can of PB. I tore into an engine that had been on it's side for 75 years in a pasture, with the ignitor missing so it also had mice in the cylinder. Not one moving part that would move. Lots of heat, oils, tapping, fires in the cylinder, built a blank head so I could leave 200 psi of air in the cylinder non-stop while it was not being worked on, and after working it some almost every day for three months the piston came out. I have cooked entire engines in an electolysis bath for a month before I even tried oiling anything. I pulled a dry stick 8n out of a shed, sliding the rear wheels all the way, pulled the head and hosed it down with PB, and about five minutes later reached down and turned the front pulley with my hands. Sure it was not stuck bad, but now you are telling me that if I had used ATF it would have turned in three minutes instead of five?? That is like saying if you use this color air hose it will fill your tires better! Tie into something really rusty that is so obsolete that you can not find used parts and come back and tell me how much better ATF is than anything else. Here is my theory-when someone has been fighting a piston for a month using PB, Kroil, Liquid Wrench, ATF, diesel, and any other snake oil to no avail and someone comes in and sprinkles rose petals on it right before the piston breaks loose, they will swear by the rose petals, not the oil they have been using. Do not mistake this for any kind of personal attack, I just don't see how you can make such a narrow statement over and over again. Save up some money and buy a can of Rapid Tap cutting fluid, it may outperfom any of them.
