Generally speaking, most cars are simply used to bring individuals to work, school or shopping, so ATF additives are not needed. For these daily operations, automatic transmission fluid suggested by the supplier alone should be sufficient to safeguard the transmission in most circumstances they experience. There should be no need for an automatic transmission fluid additive as long as the vehicle owner takes the time to ensure that there is enough transmission fluid in it and they routinely serviced the transmission.
