[QUOTE="Johnny O, post: 798803, member: 61743"] The only commonly available Mercon V ATF's that I have seen are Castrol Mercon V (duh) and Mobil 1. Mobil 1's Mercon V rating is fairly recent so if you get it DO check the back label to make sure. Older bottles will not be Mercon V rated. I had the tranny flushed on my old '05 Trac at the Valvoline Qwicky-Lube. No time to go to the dealer. They flushed it with Dexron and the additive. I was like, "Whoa, wait a second", so they let me see the additive bottle. I checked the fine print and everything, apparently the additive goes into Dexron ATF to make it Mercon V and not into plain Mercon. I drove it another 15,000 miles without incident. The transfer case takes plain Mercon, not Mercon V. I used Mobil 1 ATF in the transfer case of my '05. [/QUOTE]
