One can't depend on the additives used in ATF; detergents can be finely-divided barium- or calcium-ash.
I don't use it in my diesels, period.
As I've mentioned on this forum before, "Oil's cheaper than metal."
While I'll be the first to declare that when it come to lubricants, injector pump engineers ain't the brightest lights in the chandelier, but neither are they stupid. They recommend what works.
Rather than ATF, I stick with ashless (as most are ) 2-cycle oil.
