Ensure correct automatic transmission fluid is used for a specific
application. Check the container to verify the fluid is MERCON and/or
MERCON V approved. Some fluids have been approved as meeting both
MERCON and MERCON V requirements and will be labeled as such.
Fluids labeled as meeting only MERCON or only MERCON V
requirements must not be used interchangeably. DO NOT mix MERCON
and MERCON V. Transmission fluid requirements are indicated on the
