Turns out it's Liquid Wrench. Seemed to work better than either PB Blaster or WD40 (which is terrible for breaking bolts in general, if you ask me). If you can find PB Blaster or Liquid Wrench or WD40, choose either of the two over WD40.

I also found a forum post that quoted a magazine, which showed an interesting result:

Best Penetrating Oil Test - Surprise Winner
Judging by my advanced sense of smell with regard to hydrocarbons, Liquid Wrench is just Kroil repackaged... and Kroil penetrates better than Ron Jeremy ever did, so I'm not surprised it fared well.

Nice find on the ATF mix. Although I don't know why they chose acetone to thin it, that stuff evaporates too damn quick... mineral spirits (paint thinner) would've been a more practical choice IMHO.
