Transmission Fluid Change

Guys, I have done this before by using the easy change solution that we all have seen, and that works great. But now it is time again and I am trying to track down the fluid.
Last time i used the Mobil 1 Mercon but now i cannot find that stuff anywhere. Does anyone know where to get the old stuff or if they have changed the name, what is the new stuff called that is rated for our transmissions.

02 f-250 7.3

You can use Mercon V now. Many of us are running it with no problems. I'm running Mobil1 Syn ATF, which is Mercon V -- tranny's runnin' great!

Ford stopped licensing MERCON fluids. They changed the specs for MERCON V to be compatible with the older transmissions that used to require MERCON.
