Does anybody know?
If the diesel spark burns hot enough to burn transfluid? I know this seems like a dumb question but transfliud is widely used as an injector and valve cleaner and lube. My thoughts is if like a gas burner a diesel doesnt burn it all then some should still be in the exhuast and sould clean/lube the turbo vanes. Any thoughts are welcome.

if i done my math right thats about 220 and 185 Celsius respectively
also dependant on brand and type(ie MERCON)

Dustball I wonder why. I know they say dont use meth or achol or oil. Never heard anybody say not to use transmission fluid. I dont see what its going to hurt. I use it myself, I also use diesel kleen.

In the 6.0 (and all modern EGR equipped) diesel engines running transmission fluid in the diesel fuel is hard on the injectors, EGR system and can potentially cause coking on the VGT turbine blades. I believe that running transmission fluid in your diesel fuel is going to have the opposite effect you are looking for, and cause more headaches and problems than it will ever solve.
