2000 Transfer Case fluid change...

Feels dumb asking, but can I just use Mercon V for the transfer case fluid. Just seems it would be more appropriate since I already did the tranny with Merc V. Rather have all fluids for tranny and transfer the same.

On the bottle of Motorcraft Mercon V it states that it is not to be used in transfer cases.

Irrelevant since Ford came out with TSB 06-14-4 in which they state to use Mercon V in place of all Mercon applications.

See the attached PDF.

If that is what the TSB means then why do they continue to put it on the bottle? I have not had this bottle around for more than a year. The TSB was written in 2006

Probably just the fluid manufacturers covering their butts. I'm sure Ford tested the use of Mercon V and were satisfied with the results long before they released that TSB.

Does this also apply to power steering? It appears that the TSB refers to transmissions and transaxles but no mention of other equipment.

The power steering units were addressed under TSB 07-01-07, which I've attached.
