BTW, my personal opinion is to stay away from the additives. If you want to spend $$, go ahead and use synthetic ATF (I do!).
Red Line High-Temp ATF is my choice . . .

Ron,
I agree with Jerry on this. Have you ever seen an engine with baked on STP oil treatment? It ain't a pretty sight. When I worked at my Uncle's service station, one of the first things he taught me was that if you take care of the car and do your regular maintenance, it should last virtually forever. The only thing my uncle recommended that was out of the norm was to add a 1/2 pint of ATF in the crankcase at every oil change. This, first of all, was in the early 70's before oil technology was more advanced, and before synth. It also seemed too weird for me, so, I've never done it. I have trouble putting anything but oil and gas into the orifices of my car. BTW, my uncle drove a '69 Mercury Cyclone CJ. He was changing the VC gaskets one day and I got to take a look at the innards of the engine. The ATF apparantly did the trick, the car was 4 years old (this was in '73) and the head looked brand spankin' new -- no varnish, no discoloration of the valves, I was amazed.
