Very interesting that you guys happen to be talking about Mercon V at this time. I just decided to check my tranny fluid on a whim this afternoon. Normally, I expect the dealer to check it for me when I bring it in for servicing. Unbelievable !!! When I checked the tranny fluid, none was to be found on the dipstick !!! So, I hurried downtown to find some Mercon V, after 4 autopart stores, finally found a quart at Pep Boys. Took the entire quart too, to bring it in the middle of the hot range on the dipstick. Lesson learned: Never trust your dealer to do what he's supposed to do. When I get back in town, I'm gonna do some yellin at the service guys at Academy Ford, Laurel, Maryland....I've already punished myself for the oversight....
