So, it
didn't smoke before it went into the shop? Odd coincidence.
I know nothing about the vacuum plumbing of the SVX (and here's proof): Is there any way ATF could be sucked into the intake through a vacuum line? (I'm thinking this could happen on old Ford automatics if the vacuum shift modulator was worn.) I'd sure get an informed opinion on this remote possibility before resorting to drastic measures. Maybe someone here can answer this.
If the engine's truly shot, STP Oil Treatment thickens the oil, and I believe it's considerably cheaper than "miracle" additives of questionable value.
