Mercon v

Ok guys I've read a lot about the mercon v in the E40D transmission (not good). I want to service my tranny and have not been able to locate the dexIII/mercon in my area. What are my options for tanny fluid? Is synthetic the only thing I can do? I'm afraid of the mercon v now.

I use it in my 4R70W and some of the posters on here are using it their E4OD transmissions with good results.

in cleveland two different auto parts stores had 10 cases each of dexIII/mercon.

but subford is right, the new stuff is superior to the old mercon v

Just make sure the new mercon v says covers mercon/dexronIII applications. Walmart still has tons of mercon/dexronIII in stock for 6.98 a gallon.
