I'd do it. Great idea! Probably the only additive I'd use other than Techron or other high quality fuel system cleaner.

Trav has data that shows a drop in trans temps with LG added. It's the real deal, all you need is a cup or two and you are good to go. Dex VI is a LONG lasting fluid.

One word NO don't do it.

I've always added Lubegard to our transmissions, even on premium ATF's. As Steve mentioned, I recall Trav's testing with LG and how it lowered trans temps. Definitely not snake oil. IMO, I would use the Red.
I've never had an issue using it, put it in at least 10 different vehicles. No experience with Dex VI apps, but I've used it with Mercon LV, Maxlife, Amsoil, SP-III, Mercon V, and T-IV.

I would use it without hesitation.
I've used it in several vehicles.
Currently it is in my F-150, Xterra, and 2002 Ford Taurus.
I would not hesitate to use it.
As a matter of fact I have 2 bottles of Lubegard Red in my stash right now.
(Their Power Steering protectant is good stuff too!)

That's more than ONE word.

I've been running Dex VI in my wagon with the 4L60E transmission for a few years now. It does a lot of towing and has worked great for me. Why add anything? It is not likely to add any value.
My Grand Prix had a great UOA with 180k miles on it. I had been using Dex VI since 90k miles. Looked very good.
I'm not a big fan of additives. I may pick unconventional fluids at times, so I'm not a stickler for following exactly what GM recommends for my vehicles but I don't see the point in adding additives to something that already has additives from the fluid manufacturer. How do I know it is a good mix? With that said, it likely won't hurt anything and anyone who tries it seems to be happy.
