autozones where I went-Barely had enough in stock though

Don't get too caught up in the "Motorcraft" brand thing. Motorcraft, like Castrol, does not make their own fluids rather they purchase them from other oil companies such as Conoco-Philips. Any fluid with the Mercon V rating will work fine. You can buy Supertech for $2.50 a quart or Amsoil for $10 a quart the choice is up to you. I've never seen Motorcraft Mercon V outside of a dealership, Castrol and Valvoline Mercon V seem to be the most common in my area at the different parts stores. Personally, I use Mobil 1 which is available at Advance Auto for $5.93 quart.

I agree. I just flushed my tranny and installed Mobil 1. Also, most places don't stock much ATF. Advance Auto can get a case or two overnighted to the store. Just plan on that wherever you go. The truth is, very few people ever change ATF.

I have a friend in parts at my local Ford dealer who sells MerconV to me for $3.25 a quart! :banana:

Motorcraft oil is Conoco-Phillips so I assume the tranny fluid probably is too. Castrol oil is made by BP. Nothing wrong with the Walmart Supertech, it's made to spec by a major oil company. I prefer a full synthetic myself, but that's just me, I've got BG ATF in my manual box.

I just bought Valvoline full synthetic Mercon V from Autozone for $4.99/qt., the same they charge for the Castrol Mercon V.

That isn't Mercon V by the way. Please don't use anything other than Mercon V spec or a full synthetic like Mobil 1 in a transmission that calls for Mercon V or it will shudder eventually.

Today I picked up 6 gallons of Mercon V, part no. XT-5-GM. Local dealership had it for$94.32. That's $3.93 a quart. I don't have a buddy there. They don't know me. I'm just another guy with a Haynes Manual and a wrench. Are dealership prices really that high? Compared to boutique brands which sell for up to $15 a quart, Motorcraft is only 1/3 the price. Can Wal*Mart Supertech & other brands be much cheaper?
