What Brand ATF?

I looked in the owners manual for the type of Transmission fluid to put in my '03 6.0. It lists two types-one for the four speed and one for the 5 speed Torqueshift. Mine has a Torqueshift, so the manual states "Mercon SP", anyway, I can't seem to find a brand that states "SP". Is this a Ford specific brand? Do I need to just go to the dealer and get some? Any help is really appreciated.

I have only found it at the Ford Dealer. Although some have said that they were able to order it through O-Rileys Auto.

Either way only run these fluids:

Torqueshift Tranny = MERCRON SP
Transfer Case = MERCRON aka DEXTRON III

As picky as the TorqueShifts are and as picky as Ford has been about stuff, I'd get what you need from your local dealer. Mercon SP is what you want and it's very tough to find elsewhere.

Thanks y'all. I went to the dealer and bought some. The parts man told me it would be $3.15 a qt. When I got there, he said he misquoted the price and it would be $4 something. Well, I gotta have it so it really isn't a big deal. I did get a FREE hat out of it though.
