Thanks, Dick. Since the correct operation of the transmission depends very much on the properties of the fluid in a way that the engine doesn't rely on the oil, I'd really rather not deviate from the specified fluid (Dexron 2/3 ATF). Dunno why I'm considering additives, really, except that Ed's 89 9KT recommends it. I do intend to do a complete flush up front, along with all the other fluids: oil (synthetic), coolant, power steering, brake fluid (I'll be doing the brake hoses anyway).
I've never seen AMSOIL in the UK. Mobil 1 and Shell Helix are my preferred synthetic engine oils (Shell because I can get it at a filling station with my fuel and therefore get my employer to pay for it - I haven't come across any local Mobil filling stations). I still don't understand why anyone uses anything other than a good synthetic, nor why they change at ridiculously short intervals, but that's for another day. The only reason I would change the ATF every year is so I don't forget. Perhaps I'll do it every 2 years.
