Automatic or Manual Transmission Fluid?
Im getting ready to do a full tuneup on my 1995 f-150 5-speed 2WD.
Ive been trying to find out what type of fluid my tranny uses but i cant seem to get a clear answer, ive read that if its a mazda 5-speed it uses auto tranny fluid and if its a zf-5 it uses standard manual tranny fluid.
i dont know which i have because the truck has had a engine swap (supposidly with a mustang) so it might have a different tranny.
all i can tell u is the tranny is ribbed all over (like cooling fins)
any help would be apreciated

The first is the mazda and the second is the ZF. Either way I put Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF in my ZF-542 and haven't had a problem in the last 2-3 years. Mobile 1 is supposed to be the best/most affordable synthetic you can buy. I run full synthetic in my vehicles for the last 5 years and change at 10,000!!! You can usually get it at wal-mart or your local auto parts store. Also my buddy used to work for Ford and was their tranny mechanic... he informed me after the fact that you can get the ford brand synthetic just as cheap at the dealership and it pretty good stuff to from what he says. I'd just recommend a synthetic ATF...
