I was reading another MB site and a poster suggested to another using ATF to flush an engine (for a supposed sticky lifter).

I have never heard of such a thing.

I searched here out of curiousity, and found that some people put ATF in their fuel filters. But didn't see anything about flushing the engines with ATF.

Has anybody ever heard of this before?
