We just put a mag-hytec transmission pan on my dads 2000 7.3 and so far it has been doing great. Before just in town driving and getting on it quite a few times, it would run right around 180 degrees. After installing the pan and same kind of driving style it is running right around 150 degrees. Haven't pulled anything with the new pan yet but it seems to be doing its job.

I think SP is still the only fluid specified for a couple of transmissions.
Click on Quick Reference Charts, then
click on Automatic Transmission Fluid Chart
at the link below
FCSD Chemicals and Lubricants
It was still available at my jobber a few months ago but it cost more than the LV I purchased; IIRC the LV cost me about what I use to pay for the SP.
The transmission flare that I have posted about previously has not happened since changing to the LV; but, I also had the updated flash shortly after the fluid change. Now I have probably jinxed my transmission

Just saw this on BITOG:
TECH TIPS
Approval to Service ALL 5R110 Automatic Transmissions with MERCON® LV
Beginning immediately ALL (2003 to 2010 MY) 5R110 automatic transmissions can be serviced with
MERCON® LV automatic transmission fluid in place of MERCON® SP.
Initially only the 2009/10MY 5R110 automatic transmissions were filled and serviced with MERCON® LV.
In an effort to reduce complexity, Ford Motor Company is allowing all previous model year 5R110
automatic transmissions to be serviced with MERCON® LV automatic transmission fluid. This pertains to
top off as well as fluid replacement. Mixing of MERCON® LV and MERCON® SP in the 5R110
transmission is acceptable. Extensive testing has been performed to insure there are no functional or
durability concerns with the use of MERCON® LV in the 5R110 automatic transmission.
Vehicles affected are F-Series Super Duty trucks (including chassis cab, motorhome, LCF).
I am not bold enough to try it based on only one source, but thought I would post it up anyway.

On edit: Interesting chart... looks like it's still specified for some Explorers and Navigators...

6HP26 transmission as used in
05-08 Lincoln Navigator and some of the old the old Ford PAG (premium auto group)
Jaguar, Range Rover, & Maserati
One of the two transmissions in the chart I refered to that still use SP.....
Same transmission used in a Hyundai Genesis; the Hyundai specified fluid is $75/qt. It is a German designed transmission used in several other vehicles.

Cooling an engine is great, but it can't get too cool or it won't run right. This is a sign of a faulty thermostat and causes overcooling...which can destroy your engine.
Your transmission has the exact same type of device on the cooling circuit. It's purpose is to allow the transmission to get up to temp and keep it there. And it excels at this function, the transmission will very rarely stray from 10° of this setting. Even when towing very heavy, the tranny will NOT get much warmer than the desired temp, which I think is 170°. What benefit would you gain from this deeper pan? BTW...more fluid also takes longer to heat up.
