What's the difference between MERCON & MERCON V?
Can somebody tell me what the difference is between MERCON AND MERCON V? I know, that MERCON=DEXRON III. I looked at the local auto supply store and all they had was MERCON/DEXRON III, TYPE F for older Ford's and +3 for older Chrysler's. Furthermore, when I checked the tranny fluid (4R70W with MERCON V) I noticed, that it is a lot darker than MERCON/DEXRON III. Is that normal? And last, but not least, why does the 4R70W need MERCON V? Any info is welcome!
