Sythetic ATF where?

Aug 27, 2003 4 Replies

So where is everyone finding Synthetic Mercon V rated ATF. Locally, all I can find is Castrol Mercon V only ATF. Mobil 1 is tri-rated, everything else is Mercon III/V rated.



Thanks Bill


Please don't flame me!!! I don't care if you buy it or not and I'll NOT sell it to you as I'm not a dealer.

I have a 02 Dodge and a 02 Chev in both I run the Amsoil ATF which is rated to be used in Dexron III, Mercon V, and Chrysler ATF+4 (along with Allison, Catepillar, Opal and others).

You should be able to get it around $6-6.50 a QT (it lists for more but some of the dealers do discount)

Good luck.

andcall the number I'm sure they can point you in the right direction. As you can probably tell I've been beat up on this before. For the most part what I've found is that very few folks disparage the products, they just don't like the way it's sold. I'm the other way, I couldn't care less how they market it (except if they are going to start calling my home or sending me spam), what I care about is the price and product, I haven't been disappointed.

Most (if not all) of the Mercon V's are synthetic blends. Also, even though most of them say they are rated for all Mercon/Mercon V applications, Ford does not recommend using V in a tranny that calls for Mercon, such as the CD4E used in vehicles such as the Escape. Tom F.
