Best trans fluid for AOD
#5
Ford changed most of the specs to V...........as for the science and technical comparisons here's one place to research
The Petroleum Quality Institute of America
(Also just noticed your call sign --- I'm running a 351C in a 1966 "S" Fairlane GT which I've owned for over 25 years---incredible engine (air pump) and it lifts the front wheels on good days......11 second machine in the 1/4 mile without breathing very hard too)

The red kind....
There really isn't a trans fluid that's better than another really. There's plenty of tests that show each fluid in certain situations and which one performs better. Really type f and b&m trick shift perform nearly the same. Mercon V is "the new" ford fluid. It is compatible with all transmissions except ones currently using type f. If it was rebuilt with new seals, and for new fluid, then they can use merconV.
Choose a fluid that's compatible with the seals.
In an aod, I really doubt you'll notice a difference between the 3 and 5.
