I just put 20 oz. of a 4:1:1 mix of ATF, SeaFoam, and MMO in the crankcase of an old snapper edger that I found on the side of the road this evening. She ran pretty well after a new sparkplug and gas tank. Tomorrow, I'm going to let it get up to operating temperature, then drain the mix and refill with some RTS.

The other edger I found has the same mix in the crankcase, but it is seized up. The combustion chamber is filled up and soaking, too. It's a mix that's worked for me in the past.
