I’ve often wondered why people use transmission fluid for this. Transmission fluid is a kerosene base stock with corrosion inhibitors, rubber swell additives, and anti-foam additives.
The additives are not needed for a penetrating application so why not use a kerosene / acetone mixture. Much cheaper than transmission fluid.
