Sounds like the recommendation to add auto trans fluid to the sump when
coming up to an oil change.

> Reminds me of something I read about re. how mystified the Germans were on
the Russian Front to see so many Russian planes airborn during the bitterest
cold days when the German planes were so difficult to start. Later it was
revealed that the Russians used to add some gasoline (aircraft fuel) to the
engine so it would attain enough cranking speed to start. As the engines
warmed to temp., the gasoline would evaporate. I'm sure the engines had a
shortened life ultimately, but any port in a storm. Anybody in Northern
Canada or North Dakota like to try this and tell us how it worked?
