Why?

Are you trying to quick-fix or cover-up a wear issue with your trans?

While not trans fluid, this is an interesting read on Additives...

No, tranny works fine, but after reading that article, i'll leave it alone.

Thanks.

Bobistheoilguy.com's oil test with the additive didn't have a constant. Maybe he should try a controlled test. Same oils. One with additive. One without? Just saying. I know everyone has their opinion on oils, personally Lucas products have never failed the harsh treatment it gets turning 8,000+RPM in my circle track engines or my 9" ford rear ends.

No,
Use whatever level DEX... automatic transmision fluid that GM recommends for your year's M6 & then leave it alone. My D&D GM Viper T-56, which is built for 650 Ft-#'s uses DEXIII.

i am only going to use DEX fluid until somebody comes up with a better fluid to decrease wear and better viscosity for them..
