[urq] Fwd: [Auto_Union_DKW_Group] Penetrating Oil

[Patrick Carlier]

Oh yes . ATF is a great product for releasing stuff .
Didn't know the acetone helped , certainly will give it a try .
Thx for sharing !

Another trick with ATF is to add it to the engine oil before the oil is
drained when servicing a car .
With the oil level at minimum , top it off to maximum with atf and then take 
the car for
a half hour drive . No heavy loads or high revs , just to get it warm and 
make  the oil circulate .
Then drain the oil and you'll be surprised of all the stuff pouring out of 
that drain plug .
Don't forget to also change the oil filter .

Pat
Merry r x-mas to everyone
