Nice catch OK Don. I wonder if the ATF is Mobil one?
You can bet I'll mix up a batch.

*FWIW - captured from another list, I make no claim for it's
authenticity:*
Don't forget the April 2007 "Machinist's Workshop" magazine comparison
test.
They arranged a subjective test of all the popular penetrants with the
control being the torque required to remove the nut from a "scientifically
rusted" environment.
Penetrating oil ..... Average load
None ...................... 516 pounds
WD-40 .................... 238 pounds
PB Blaster .............. 214 pounds
Liquid Wrench ........ 127 pounds
Kano Kroil ............... 106 pounds
ATF-Acetone mix.......53 pounds
The ATF-Acetone mix was a "home brew" mix of 50 - 50 automatic
transmission
fluid and acetone.
Note the "home brew" was better than any commercial product in this one
particular test.
Our local machinist group mixed up a batch and we all now use it with
equally good results.
Note also that "Liquid Wrench" is about as good as "Kroil" for about 20%
of
the price.
