I doubt it since tranny fluid is really refined stuff with detergents, suspension agents, etc., in it as well as treatments to keep the acid levels down as the oil gets dirty.
But.. that being said, I have heard that car repair shops have used tranny fluid in their pneumatic tools like sanders, wrenches and body saws, which use a different fluid entirely than the ones used in nail guns.
No personal experience on that one.

Four inches?! I can understand not wanting to mess with the other utilities, but we've had vehicles make that deep of impression trying to cross our wet yard.

Yeah, but hopefully there aren't 4' sewer lines or similar buried a few more inches under your yard. :)
My telephone line actually comes out of the ground and then goes back under, in my back yard. I gotta get them to come out and burry it.
We have the same service in the Houston area however they do not mark water or sewer. Our phone number to call is 811. Unfortunately Houston has about 15 smaller cities that are adjacent that all handle things differently. Where the city is concerned, they don't care if you break the water line after the meter. Eis not thair yob to do mor than cover their fundios. Technically you have to wait 48 hours for the markings to be made before digging and they are suppose to call you if they do not intend to come out to mark. The local cable company did neither with in 48 hours, I called on Tuesday morning at 6:00 a.m., they showed up Thursday afternoon. Too Late.
For home/hobby use you can beat the HFT tool that works after the first few tries. And, so far, you can't beat them for taking back most anything you have a complaint about and offering you a trade out or merchandise card (if you've lost your receipt).
I last bought the 15 gauge Finisher Nailer when it was on-sale and applied a 20% off coupon. When I found a great looking Hitachi at Lowes for $44!! (bought two, one to give as a present) I took the HFT back (it did hang a bit) and got full credit on my CC.
I deal with two HFT's in different states and cannot complain about their return policy.
Wonder how their stock is doin in these hard times?
Likewise a Vermeer pavement saw can make a mess of a fiber optic cable.
Use to have a couple of them Saws. We called them the Wheel of Fortune. Mine where Ditch Witch's R-100's 60 feet a minute thru asphalt, 24-30" deep 5" wide. Boy what damage they did to shallow gas, phone, cable, and water lines. Cut thousands of miles of trench between 1975-2000 then retired.
