Magic Elixir (acetone and ATF) appears at or near the top of all the studies I've seen which include it and is substantially cheaper than the commercial stuff, so I use it exclusively. Save your ATF when you change fluid and filter. One THM-425 full is enough to provide elixir for years.

I used acetone and power steering fluid in a 403 that had not been run in 19 years. Bore scope showed rusted cylinder walls at the contact points of the rings in several cylinders. I could not rotate the engine even with a 5 foot bar on the wrench. I filled the cylinders with the PSF/acetone mixture and every day that I was at the airport I would try to move the engine. After over a week of soaking, one day I turned the wrench and the engine turned over easily and now runs like a top. I used that mixture because of the quantity of fluid needed. I did not want to buy that much Kroil.
Kroil works very well if you give it soaking time measured in days. In all of is tests we saw on the video the soaking time was hours and not days. Heat with Kroil also works to accelerate the process and reduce the soaking time.

Lemme point out, cheapskate that I am, not only do I use the removed ATF for elixir, I use changed motor oil in the chain oiler on my power saw.

Johnny, be sure that there is no "chunky" stuff in the drain oil that you
put in your bar oiler. When those things get plugged up, bad stuff happens
to your drive sprocket, bar, and chain.

Yeah and the used motor oil smells way worse when it gets splattered on you
than bar oil

All of his ProjectFarm videos are fun to watch and seem well conceived. I figure whatever works on rusted bolts that doesn't require a torch is good enough.
