What should I use in my tranny?? Gear oil?? ATF??? I've even heard 10w30, but im not sure... the owners manual says MERCON ATF, but what are you guys usin? or what would anyone recomend
just about every ford transmission takes mercon-dexron, manuals/autos. hell even the transfer cases in AWD aerostars take mercon-dexron. mustang 5-speeds take mercon dexron as well....
At some point Ford may have produced a tranny that the factory spec'd something other than dexron III but I can remember when. I know the 5 speeds call for dexron III. read the owners manual, hayes manual, chiltons, ask you local ford dealer. They all say dexron III. Most standards use atf fluid nowdays.
