[QUOTE="Ben Geller, post: 853308, member: 67601"] I think I just made a pretty serious error. I just got my ST, and noticed the tranny cooler was leaking at the return line, so I tightened everything up and stopped the leak. I checked the ATF fluid and noticed it was down a bit, so I went into my shop and pulled the ATF fluid out and topped her up (about 1/4 of a liter). Being bored at work today I was reading the manual and noticed this.... "DO NOT MIX Mercon and Mercon V fluids" So I call the wife and send her to the shop and she says the fluid I used is a Mercon and not a Mercon V fluid. How much trouble am I in? Do I need to do a flush and fill? Is this small amount ok? [/QUOTE]
