7% diesel in oil detroit 60 series 12.7

Sure, why not.
Nothing like making a little boom into a big one.

 

Use a gallon of ATF in the oil.

 

Never heard this one before. What's the reasoning for it?

 

Atf is a better cleaner then oil. It just can't take the heat.

Seafoam is another option but much more expensive.

Either can be run in oil or gas or fuel.

Boss man fills up the fuel filters with atf before installing. Cleans the injectors.

I've used it in both gas and oil. Usually can make the car sound and run better. Back in the days of dirty gasoline.

 

One look inside an automatic trans, tells a lot. Clean as a whistle. I doubt he has a sludge problem. If not for it using coolant, Id say a little Lucas to combat the thin oil. He’s got much bigger problems than blow by. Old engine needs an overhaul, before He ends up on a hook.

 

Did you get it figured out? Having similar issue. Thanks

 

The injector solenoid May be leaking. Sometimes the tiny screws break or get loose. Or they crack and just leak. With valve cover off, you can check them visually for leaks.

 

What kind of dye do you use and where do I get it? What's the name of this dye?


Thanks

 

I don’t know. Mine was leaking so bad it was squirting fuel obviously. Put 10 gallons of fuel into oil. I thought the tip or seal had blown. Was trying to make it home. It shutdown on me.
