And how many of them actually give a damn what torque ratings mean? How many look in the service manual (unless if they have written some) for the correct answer/diagnosis for something? What about regular service bulletins?

You can easily talk to 50 people, all of which just have the basic 8 ASE certifications, and all of which could be older guys who dont know exactly what they were doing. When the guy taught General Motor's lead techs in STG, ranked in the upper echelon of all ratings, and has 52 of his OWN seperate ASEs rather than combined score...when ANYBODY in Sarasota county car related has a problem and is willing to take anything from the original owner of a 1966 Corvair to a $250,000 Maserati Indy to him to get it working and running right...I'd have to say he takes the cake and trumps people who havent actually tried it.

He's been doing this for years. Its not like he randomly started.

If you dont want to put it in your engine, fine, I'm not forcing you to. Just take some old dirty tools you have and dip them in ATF, whipe them off, and tell me it doesnt clean shit well. Hell every BMW I touch with an ATF PS reservoir I take out the dipstick and drip one or two drops on the outside reservoir which is dirty from the vent on the cap, then whipe it down and it literally looks brand new. CHF 11S doesnt do that, and I doubt power steering does either.
Now THAT is an ignorant comment. If you knew a damn about auto trannys, you'd know the oil galleries in them are incredibly tiny and cant afford to be clogged at all; one of the reasons ATF is high in detergents. Check out an MSDS sheet (if you even know what that is) or find out the ingredients of ATF...being high in detergents pretty much means it's meant to clean shit...

Water will also work if you arent a dumbass and hydrolock your engine...it'll steam clean the combustion chamber etc.
