Dexron 6 trans fluid
I'm getting ready to change the transmission and transfer case fluid in my '02 F250, and I know that the owners manual recommends mercon/dexron trans fluid. My question is, can the new dexron 6 be used in my vehicle? They say that it is reverse compatable. I work at a GM dealership, and we use dex 6 in everything. I even used it in my 97 Lumina with 185,000 miles on it with no problems....Yet....

Mercon V and Dexron are not interchangeable although Dex III was interchangeable with basic Mercon.
You'd have to pull the specs of each fluid. My guess is that Dex 6 is NOT a substitute for Merc V.

Just an FYI. I just finished changing my ATF with Mobil 1 Synthetic. It lists being compatible with, among others, Dexron 6, Mercon, Mercon 5, Mercon LV. So is what many of of us have been using for years still OK?
