Ensure the correct automatic transmission fluid is used. Transmission
fluid requirements are indicated on the dipstick or on the dipstick
handle. Check the container to verify the fluid being added is of the
correct type. Refer to your scheduled maintenance guide to determine
the correct service interval.
Some transmission fluids may be labeled as dual usage, such as
MERCONt and MERCONt V. These dual usage fluids are not to be used
in an automatic transmission that requires use of the MERCONt type
fluid. However, these dual usage fluids may be used in transmissions that
require the MERCONt V type fluid.
MERCONt and MERCONt V type fluids are not interchangeable.
DO NOT mix MERCONt and MERCONt V. Use of a transmission
fluid that indicates dual usage (MERCONt and MERCONt V) in
an automatic transmission application requiring MERCONt may
cause transmission damage. Use of any fluid other than the
recommended fluid may cause transmission damage.

Indicates only approximate dry-fill capacity. Some applications may
vary based on cooler size and if equipped with in-tank cooler. The
amount of transmission fluid and fluid level should be set by the
indication on the dipstick’s normal operating range.
