Trans fluid type?

I am draining the trans (auto) on my E99 F350.

What kind of fluid should I use.

The manual says Mercon but all that seems to be available these days is Mercon V.

Are these two compatable?

Can I go ahead and use Mercon V in my auto trans?

Thanks for all the help.

In 2006 ford changed it's stance on using mercon v in mercon applications. I believe in your manual it says not to, but now ford says it's ok. That still bothered me, so I use amsoil synthetic in mine. Hope this helps!

Mercon V is the replacement for it, no issues using it.

Indeed. Mercon v is now the correct fluid to use for ALL applications that previously specified Mercon.

Trans Fluid

That is what I thought but could not find confirmation.

Thanks
