Transfer Case Fluid - What to USE??
I had to remove the transfer case and transmission on my 2004 F150 in order to replace the flexplate. I need to refill the transfer case (drained prior to removing) and saw that the Ford manual recommends Motorcraft XL-12 which can be had for $15.00 /quart at the dealer . . . . XL-12 is hard to find anywhere else. The parts guy at one of the dealers looked it up and said to use Mercon V ATF fluid. So should I use the XL-12 or the ATF fluid??

My 02 Transfer Case is supposed to have Mercon, not Mercon V according to the owner's manual. I'm not sure why Ford would recommend Mercon for the Transfer case and Mercon V for the trans. Since the trans can leak Mercon V into the transfer case, I can't imagine it would make much difference to put Mercon V in the transfer case.
