Just for the record, this stuff is sold in the UK as Redex and has long been touted as an upper cylinder lubricant. It does a good job of freeing stuck piston rings as it will dissolve the gumminess. I have also used it to free sticking valves and noisy lifters. I have seen it improve the idle on some rough running cars by pouring it down the carburettor intake a little at a time. I dont know what it is made of or how long its been around but I like to have some on hand for all kind of odd jobs. I dont own an automatic so I dont usually have atf on hand. Somehow I feel sure that atf has an additive package that probably the MMO does not have.
