Dont worry about your oil needing to be low and you DO NOT drive while cleaning out inside of the engine when you run tranny fluid in your oil. Let engine run idle in driveway for 15-30mins and then do a regular oil change. Filter and oil. Anything with a carb just add the tranny fluid to your fuel tank (Mower, Motorcyle, etc.). If you just dump tranny fluid down the throat of your carb in wont be cleaning out the fuel bowl and passageways within the carb. On motorycles, mowers, etc. just run fuel low to 1/2 to 1/4 gal left in fuel tank and then add 4-8oz of tranny fluid and run them. You can use the engines if you add tranny fluid to the fuel but NEVER if you add it to the oil. Just idle only, no working load like mowing or riding a motorcyle. To clean your piston crowns and valves just let engine idle and using a spray bottle mist water into the throat of the carb. This works on any engine. Never just dump water out of a container into a carb.So when my oil is low throw in a quart of trans fluid. How long do I let it idle? Then just change the oil as normal?
I have a 72 Buick. I can drop some trans fluild in the carb while it is running and that will clean it?
