I'm sure Tide would do just as well as Transmission fluid at cleaning injectors, except it would smell better.
Put it this way - if Tranny fluid was meant to be an injector cleaner, they would sell it as such - companies LOVE cross promoting their products. But, strangely, the Transmission fluid companies are silent on this. I wonder why........
I would hate to try and get a warranty claim through on an injector with transmission fluid residue all over it.
Shop: "What did you put in your fuel?"
You: "Transmission fluid"
Shop: "Why?"
You: "Cuz some guy on the internets told me to"
Shop: "Are you braindead??"
You: "Apparently"
