Mark,
 One could run cooking oil in the unit if they liked the smell of it. The
reason for non detergent or specialty products is to allow the solids to
fall out of solution and not be continually re-circulated prompting
premature ware of the components.

Is anyone running 20/50 engine oil in their tranys any more?   Any 
noticeable, serious problems here if
the oil is changed every 2 to 3 years?   Sorry to rehash, but there has been

a lot of hashen going on lately,
so what the heck.  )

Mark
