The idea behind ATF is it has a lot of detergents (to keep clutch material from clogging valves etc). When I used to buy cheap cars that were dirty/sludgy, I would run a diesel oil in them for a while. Diesel oil gets sooty, so they have more detergents to deal with it. It is a much gentler way to clean things up VS seafoam (which is very aggressive and can cause failures if done incorrectly.... or even if done correctly).
Why do you feel the need to clean your engine? It really shouldn't be required on a Yaris. |
