I used to think this too, but I was wrong. Years ago, I owned '76 chevy van w/ 350 4 barrel. I added ATF with oil changes, and it sure cleaned up the engine innards, but I noticed a bunch of new oil leaks had developed. My theory is, that as engines get older and gaskets start to deteriorate that ATF tends to weken them further because of the detergents that they contain. Of course there was no way for me to "prove" my theory, but never the less, I would have preferred the dirty engine as opposed to superfund site that I created in my driveway. IMHO.
