Hello WALLACE----------- please don't make the "urban mistake" of judging a book by its'cover--------or in this case an oil by it's ambient condition. It's what it does when in use that's the important thing. ATF fluids are are a group of light weight, high anti-shear oils with anti-scuff additives etc designed primarily for use in fluid flywheels and, more specifically, in TORQUE CONVERTERS for automatic transmissions. They just so-happen to fit-in nicely with the requirements of telescopic forks and primary drives. Most oils when "at work" usually have a consistency similar to water !! Check-out your eng. oil next time you do a proper oil & filter change ie straight from a hot run----see what I mean ?? If it helps all my bikes--Enfields, big Honda, mopeds, use ATF in the appropriate places--(Hondas' are a wet sump/gearbox unit).
