For you guys putting it in your fuel on a diesel engine. I hope DOT don't stop ya. Off road fuel has a red tint to it. You put tranny fuild in yours and guess what? red tint. I have been pulled over and they tested my fuel. Red tint because of the same thing that you are doing. Big fine $$$$$. Kinda messing with the IRS, you are guilty until YOU prove other wise. Accused me of running off-road fuel in my truck. Told them what I did and they didn't care. 10 thousand dollar fine and a 1000 dollars per gallon I had in my possession. Had a fuel tank in the back. Had them send it to a lab and they tested it and everything was forgivin. Think they charged the company I was working for about 850.00 for the test though. Needless to say the company put out a memo-----DO NOT ADD TRANSMISSION FLUID TO DIESEL FUEL.
I don't know if regular hydraulic fluid will benefit a engine but it will get you past a red tint. My 2 cents and experience.

I was wondering abut that….How much ATF did you run in it?
