any place that sells Motorcraft will probably have it and you can also try different brands as long as they are compatible with the specs of MERCON and MERCON V.

Mercon/Dextron 3 is the only "Ford" approved trans fluid for the 5-spds in Rangers. As for Mercon 5, it is not interchangable w/ mercon 3 except for a couple of transmissions ( E4OD & 4R70W only)
