I used ATF in my SUs til I ran out (I had a couple of pints left
over from a leaky Mazda) It worked fine... nice throttle response.
I Use 20wt now... don't notice any significant dif...
BTW I've a great method of carrying the oil in my tool box (so it
doesn't go all over the place). I use an Elmers Glue bottle (with
the twist top) It seals really well and delivers the oil right where
I want it.
