real deal

Mercon V is the most common type of Ford Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) used in earlier year model Fords, it is very much like Dexron III. Dyed with Red color to detect leaks, It is a fully synthetic ATF. Motorcraft MERCON V (Actually a Roman numeral 5 not "Vee" as most people think) is a premium-quality automatic transmission fluid. Formulated & Recommended by Ford Motor Company for use in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles that require either MERCON V or the old type MERCON type fluid. I did some research and found that FORD does not make MERCON anymore as suggested in the owner's guide for 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid and there were Technical Service Bulletin (TSBs) released indicating "MERCON V" as the replacement transmission fluid. The Ford (TSB) 06-14-04 indicates that Mercon "V" is to replace the original Mercon fluid. The vehicle uses 5.3 quarts (5.0L) and this 5 Quart jug is perfect and exact quantity needed to replace the factory fluid. Please note: Warning! Do not use this in Transfer cases. or put them inside PTUs. Using any transmission fluid other than those that meet the recommended specification may cause internal transaxle damage. Do NOT use Motorcraft MERCON CVT (blue) ATF in 2006 ford escape hybrids. You need to use the "RED" color fluid. This Ford 2006 escape hybrid vehicle uses only prior generation Motorcraft MERCON ATF (Unavailable) installed from factory and can be substituted with the new Mercon V (The product reviewed here) Pricing on Amazon is competitive and if you are prime member it gets delivered to your door in couple of days what is there to complain? Product reviewed here is Genuine ATF shipped and sold by Amazon. Rating the product with five stars!

Best price you can find

When you luv your Ford the way I luv my Fords, then only the best will do! I always use Genuine Ford Motorcraft parts and fluids whenever I can get ahold of them for maintenance of all my Ford vehicles. Amazon is a great source for finding this genuine Motorcraft Mercon-V ATF, because local auto parts store and big box stores seldom carry it in stock. There are substitutes of course, but then again, a can of spam is no substitute for a genuine smoked ham, and a bottle of generic atf is no substitute for Genuine Motorcraft Mercon-V ATF. I got the 5-quart to change the fluid in my Truck's manual 5-speed M5OD transmission. (Yep, Ford's manual trans M5OD takes Mercon-V ATF, believe it or not.) It only takes like 3.75 quarts, but it's nice to have a lil' extra just in case some spills, or to top it off later. A transmission rebuild or replacement can cost thousands, so why risk something like that by buying a cheap generic "one-size-fits-all" type fluid? Get Genuine Ford Motorcraft and keep your Ford happy! It's cheaper in the long run.

Very good

Ok, I’ve been a car guy my entire life, working on my own cars keeping them running. I used this stuff on my 2003 trailblazer with the 4.2 inline 6. It has 192k miles on it. And cold start it had a loud lifter tap and a little bit of piston slap as well until it warmed up. The lifter tap stayed (quieter) but was still there with the engine warm. Yesterday morning I changed the oil again. Did the double dose (used the 16oz can). And first start after oil change the cold start tap was 90% gone. Drove it last night and when I got home it was completely quiet at idle warm. This stuff absolutely quieted 90% of the cold start lifter noise, and completely 100% quieted down warm lifter tick. It works amazing and I’ve always been skeptical. Especially something I found on instagram reels. But try it. It really does help a lot, it is expensive but I’ll keep using it with the results. To add, it may be a placebo affect from the lifter tick going away. But throttle response seems improved, and it seems to have gained some power. Not a ton, but noticeable enough to make you happy after your first drive trying this Prolube changed shipping to Amazon, from usps priority on this platform. your better off going to their site and purchasing direct, rather then pay extra to Amazon for shipping for Amazon to not get it in time

Was what ordered

The is very good and arrived before the time it was supposed to arrived. I highly recommend this product

Glad I grabbed the spec’d Mercon V for my Fusion, made the mistake of using a non Ford product (all make fluid) and decided to drain and refill with proper product. A noticeable difference right off the hop, from hear dissipation to shifting.

Perfect

Good stuff! It does the job and seems to work very well in my MK2 focus

Fast shipping. Good price.
