Maintenance - 40,000km general service

There was ready nothing much about this general servicing except that additionally, the Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) need to be replaced per 20,000km whereas spark plugs need to be replaced per 40,000km. I was advised by key mechanics here and there that the original ATF needs to be used because the automatic gear box is rather sensitive as against the engine block because it needs a certain amount of friction. Too much viscosity and the gear might slip and that would cause serious damage to the gear box. In fact, I was about to buy automatic gearbox additive but cancelled that idea after reading the comments below the advertisement where the ATF viscosity became too smooth and the gear slipped.
