This works on old muscle cars but i haven't tried it on anything new. Drain you oil then put tranny fluid in the engine and let it run for five minutes. Drain out the tranny fluid and you'll have cleaner insides. Sinced tranny fluid is oil that is thinner and as a detergent in it to kee your tranny clean, it cleans out the inside of your engine. Now don't try it on a new car you drive all over. Get a junk new car that has a running enegine in it and test it out. The tranny fluid might mess up engine internals in these newer cars.
i did this to my 5th gen more than 10K miles ago. I don't remember how much it helped or not. I also did the seafoam treatment to it not too long ago, and I do remember how nasty the oil came out afterwards.
PS. Tranny fluid will eat away at seals and such because of the detergents. You don't want to have it in there too long.
