I use ATF
Bob Mears
Can any of you oil experts out there tell me what the difference is between
ATF
and engine oil? Is there a synthetic version of ATF?

Paul,
ATF is just very light oil, very similar to 5606 hydraulic fluid. It
contains friction modifiers to prevent clutch chatter. The different
varieties of ATF mostly has to do with what type of friction modifiers are
used. Some manual transmissions are now using Dextron III ATF for gear oil.
It provides lubrication with much lower drag than heavy gear oil but
requires a different friction on the syncro's to work well.
AFT is also the trick fluid for starting a fuel flooded rotary. One squirt
of ATF to lube the seals and they fire right up.
Synthetics are available, the ford mercron V is synthetic. Several other oil
manufactures also sell synthetic ATF.

So maybe it has detergent to free the stuck apex seals?
