That’s strange because I know first hand of the exact opposite happening. A guy buys an old truck with a “bad motor” in northern CA and dumps a bunch of ATF in it for the 500 mile drive home. He figures, “wtf, who cares,” because he’s going to have to rebuild the engine anyway. It smoked bad and burned a ton of oil. By the time he got it home to SoCal, it had completely stopped smoking and stopped using oil. It had a gummed-up oil ring or 3 and the ATF cleaned it and caused it to start sealing again. Good thing he didn’t rebuild it.
