The ATF has additives in it to rejuvenate/"swell" old seals.  I used to put half a quart of ATF in my Jetta every oil change and I drive that car a lot harder than my 240.  I never had any problems. In fact, it helped out my smoking problem.  The ATF swelled the valve guide seals and therefore less smoking.

I think they use a similar additive package to the high-milege oils like Castol or Quaker State.
