Trans Fluid Type???
I have a 2002 SD with a 6.8 engine auto trans. The trans dip stick says Mercon on it. My question is can I put Mercon V in this trans and is it compatible with the Mercon? Also how can I tell what trans I have in this truck? Thanks Gene

Question....I have a 2005 Super Duty V10 4x4 Auto Trans and on the trans dip stick it says Mercon SP? Did they use the wrong dip stick on my truck?
I ordered the truck back in February 2005.
Thanks....Gage

Mercon V replaced Mercon a few years ago. Changes were made and they are completely compatible; and Ford doesn't license the production of Mercon anymore. So the only way to ensure that you're getting the proper fluid is to buy licensed Mercon V.

The OP has the 4R100, and Gage2502 has the 5R110.
