I've used ATF and PS fluid when I revive a sleeping engine(old V4s).I take the spark plugs off and pour it in and also on the valve train. I turn the engine over (without sparkplugs) and the excess comes out. I let the engine sit for a day. Turn it over one more time to make sure the oil is out of the cylinders. Put the plugs back in and turn her over! I think the seals degrade with too many detergents. Bud Clark at J&B imports in Orange, Ca ran his '87 Saa 9000 to 420,000+ miles and the the oil pump went. His trick was to change the oil every 15k(syntetic)and change the filter every 2k miles.
