ATF

Normally Red, but beware nowadays it can be more then just color.

Current fluids types

• ATF+4 - Most Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler * Mercon V - Most Ford, Mercury, Lincoln * Mercon LV - Some Ford(DuratecHE),MAZDA in Europe or Asia * Dexron VI - Most GM products, some Ford applications * ATF-Z1 (Being phased out as of 2011) - All Honda and Acura (except CVT) * ATF DW-1 - All Honda and Acura (except CVT) * SP-III - All Hyundai, Mitsubishi and Kia (except CVT and dual clutch)

I've seen both red and normal "motor oil golden."

OK thanks it is just that the mustang top motor I got posted from the states had "clear" fluid in it and there was some confusion as to what to fill the system wirh when I installed it here in the UK ....I went for DEX

Wait, you did what with trans fluid??? Define "top motor".
