Mercon V vs. Mercon for the transfer case – local shop that I am looking at to flush the transmission and drop the pan and replace the filter will also do the transfer case, but says that they will use Mercon V for both the transmission and transfer case – manual says Mercon in the transfer case and Mercon V in the transmission – from my research I am lead to believe that you can not interchange the two - shop owner says you can not use Mercon in place of Mercon V, but you can use Mercon V in place of Mercon – Don’t know why Ford had to make this process so confusing – does anyone know the right answer here? Is it OK to drain the transfer case and refill with Mercon V?
Also, is the purchase of transmission fluid from one of the major oil companies (e.g. Mobil, Exxon, Havoline, etc.) that sell it as Mercon V compatible OK? I notice that many are marketing their products as fully compatible for Mercon V, Mercon, and Dexron III, manufacturers transmission fluid requirements.
