Did you read that thread and others in depth? ATF does not have any "extra" detergents over PCMO, much less ones specifically chosen to be helpful in an engine.

Sorry. My post was directed towards the above few comments.
I know your engines aren't anything less than stellar.
Haha... we can only hope they stay that way.

The best cleaning oils get dark real quick.
My SuperTech synthetic made by Citgo got dark within 2500 miles.
I'm gonna run it again.

I certainly did. And there's both correct and incorrect information there. From authoritative folks, the addpac is different, and ends up being complementary to typical engine oil application. Plus there's the vast empirical data that shows it just plain works. I gather you haven't really read much on this issue based on your statement.

I think you had better check again, and perhaps check with some of the formulators on this board. I'd also love to see the empirical data.
i used rislone in my truck to clean the nasty goo out of my old 350 used it 4 times that year along with pyb.
i don't know which oil cleans better i learned in high school shop the the cleaning agents in oil suspends the contaminants and keeps them from sticking to the engine.

2 or 3 consecutive 100mile OCIs with the cheapest you can find will clean just as good as any other oil, but not as well as filling it to the bri with diesel and letting it sit overnight
