So I know you should only use Dextron III/Mercon for the AW4. I was at Part Source today and they had Dextron V and VI. I asked for Dextron III and he pointed at the Shell ATF which had smaller writing saying "For vehicles previously serviceable by Dextron III/Mercon". The ATF part scares me...
Is this the right stuff I should be buying? It was $15.99 for 4 liters. :o

ATF means automatic transmission fluid is that you Q

I work at a parts store, maybe I could help you. That Shell ATF is probably a "Multi-vehicle" ATF. and will work just fine in the AW-4. I know i sell quaker state and castrol multi's that work in transmissions that require Dexron and Mercon III. The V and VI are meant for alot of newer vehicles, and you don't want that in your AW-4.
Trans fluid is usually expensive, except for lower brands like the Walmart Tech-2000 stuff. Just make sure you get the right one!

That's my question, basically is this Shell ATF the proper stuff. Since it's like a Mercon/Dextron replacement. I've rather use actual Mercon/Dextron III -- does anyone know where I can buy it?

Ford Dealer might still sell the Mercon III? just a thought

Just picked up a tranny cooler from PnP. I wanna install this and change my tranny pan gasket and change the fluid, but still not sure if this is the right stuff to buy.
