Transmission Fluid• Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid• FNR5 Automatic Transmission Fluid• Dual Clutch Transmission Fluid• Type F

Why so Many Offerings?Ford transmissions are designed for use in many different service environments and operating conditions. Each transmission has its own set of requirements for its fluid and each Motorcraft® Automatic Transmission Fluid (ATF) has specially formulated properties to meet those requirements. There is no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to automatic transmission fluids.

Why doesn’t Motorcraft® Offer Additives or Conditioners?Ford engineers recommend NOT adding cleaners, conditioners or other “performance enhancing” products to the Automatic Transmission Fluid. Specially designed performance additives are already included in Motorcraft ATF formulations, therefore, additional additives are not needed.Aftermarket additives do not prolong the life of the fluid and/or the transmission and can mask symptoms without providing a cure.

What is Special About MERCON® Transmission Fluids?MERCON® transmission fluids undergo extensive testing, both in the lab and in real-world conditions, to ensure they provide optimum performance and durability. MERCON® fluids are the only fluids approved by Ford Motor Company for their recommended application.

The different MERCON® fluids are unique fluids formulated for specific applications. Their specifications DO NOT overlap and use of fluids other than specified may cause reduced functionality or transmission damage. Remember – there is no “one-size-fits-all” when it comes to automatic transmission fluids.

MOTORCRAFT® AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION FLUID USAGE

Ford Motor Company position on fluids that are claimed to be universal and work in all transmissions is “This is not possible”. In 2008 Ford started manufacturing transmissions that were designed to function on MERCON® LV which has a lower viscosity than MERCON® V, which was used in previous transmission designs. The viscosity ranges of these two specifications are mutually exclusive (DO NOT overlap). Other transmissions used in Ford vehicles, requiring other ATFs, have a similar viscosity to MERCON® V. Viscosity is a critical property of an ATF. Using an ATF of the correct viscosity insures adequate fluid pressure and oil film thickness which are necessary for the transmission to function correctly under all temperature conditions. Using an ATF with the wrong viscosity will adversely affect the function, efficiency and durability of the transmissions. Since MERCON® LV has a lower viscosity than MERCON® V it is impossible have one fluid that will meet the viscosity requirements of both MERCON® LV and MERCON® V. Next are the additive systems used. Advances in transmission materials to enhance shifting and durability required different additive formulations to provide optimum performance and durability out of these materials. Using a fluid licensed by Ford with of the correct viscosity and formulation is the only way to insure the transmission will function correctly and provide the durability the customer expects.

Ford requires that service / aftermarket ATFs / power steering fluids be a Ford approved licensed fluid in the case of MERCON®/ fluids, like MERCON® V or MERCON® LV. All products on the market that are MERCON® licensed or have data that has been presented to Ford showing they meet the Ford Material Specification are acceptable to be used to service the appropriate transmissions Ford, Mercury and Lincoln branded vehicles. Fluids that are MERCON® licensed are evaluated by Ford engineering to insure that they meet the appropriate MERCON® specification and contain the approved additive systems designated in these specifications, designed for Ford transmissions. Unlicensed or unapproved fluids on the market that claim they meet the requirements of these specifications cannot be guaranteed to contain the approved additives or have successfully completed the appropriate testing necessary to demonstrate that the fluid will function in the transmission properly and achieve the appropriate level of durability.

Using a Ford approved fluid is the only way to meet the warranty requirements for Ford vehicles, protect the transmission from damage and insure the proper function of the transmission. Most newer transmission fluid change intervals are 150,000 miles (check owner guide for correct interval). To achieve this drain interval without issue Ford Motor Company recommends customers and fleets use only a MERCON® licensed ATF in your Ford, Lincoln or Mercury transmission.
