Home brew (Acetone & ATF)?~

Acetone and ATF was the "cure all" for engines when they took lead out of gasoline. The ATF worked as a top cylinder lubricant for the valve guides and the acetone was suppose to increase MPG.
Not at all sure it really worked. Still, I put the mix in my old MoPar 360 - along with a over-the-shelf lead substitute. But, as you know, if you BELIEVE it will work it becomes a MIRACLE cure no matter what (yes, I am guilty too). Slick 50 and Split Fire Spark Plugs proved that once again for the younger generation. I think the word "Snake Oil" is sometimes used in the same paragraph as the above :@
Oh, BTW, I have some magnets here you can put over your generator's fuel line that will rearrange the molecular structure of gasoline so it burns better and will improve your run-time by 200%. Buy one get another FREE if ordered in the next 24 hours! Only a dollar-two-ninety-nine. (plus 20$ S&H for each item)!:B

Prof - somehow the question flew over your head! :(
Question (and ATF/Acetone home brew) had *NOTHING* to do with Top oils, etc.
Question was what you -or anyone else- preferred as a PENETRATING OIL . . . .
- - the stuff to free-up RUSTED BOLTS
eg; Liquid Wrench, PB Blaster, etc.
Sometimes new chemistry provides new solutions for old problems!
BTW - I've never tried the Acetone/ATF . . . for anything, LOL!
