Thread: What type of Transmission Fluid do I need?

All the AP stores around here sell it - Even Wally Mart stocks it at times.

Mercon V is widely available. Mercon has been discontinued. (There is no such thing as Mercon III) You can still find fluids that are "Mercon Equivalent", and I'm sure that the companies that made Mercon in the past haven't forgotten how. Since they no longer need to answer to a licensing body though, there is no incentive to meet the stringent specs. Eventually you will be at...

You're right about Mercon III, I was thinking Dexron. Are you sure about mixing Mercon and Mercon V? Doing the drain/fill will always leave a substantial amount of old fluid in the tranny.

NEVER mix Mercon I and V. Either one will work fine in the transmission but it is a very bad idea to mix both. I had the original Mercon in mine, I brought it to the dealer, had them do a complete flush and filled it up with Mercon V after, now I can do drain and fills when I want to without worrying about contamination.

There is no concern about mixing.
