Question Is Lubro Gard transmission fluid ok for our transmissions?

i bought a bottle of Lubro Gard transmission fluid additive on amazon.com that is supposed to enhance our transmission fluid and they claim to enhance and compliment our trans fluid and it claims to also drop the transmission fluid temperature by over 40 degrees which it says will make the transmission last twice as long....does anyone here have any experience with it or heard about it yet?

There are no transmission oil additives that are approved nor needed for your car. Your factory fill needs to be changed at 40k miles and that is it. After that some owners chose to change it at 100k miles and so on.

Do not experiment with any of the fluids in your car as no such experimentation is really needed. The engine, transmission, brakes and rear ends are stout as they are.

The abc... Well... Mmmmm... Hmmmm...
