Ford TSB 06-14-4 December 07, 2007, 03:31:32 pm Yahoo Message Number: 86888FYI this Ford technical bulletin indicates that for 'E' series Ford vehicles 1981 ' 2004; Mercon ATF is being replaced by Mercon V ATF as a service fluid. Ford no longer sells Mercon! This TSB also applies to many other Ford products. Ford indicates that Mercon V is a 'synthetic blend' whatever that means. I just thought that you'd like to know.Glen SOBNo virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG Free Edition.
