Advance Auto Parts has Mercon V (Their Brand) for $3.38 a quart!!!:eek:

That's better than Castrol's price when Wally-World used to carry it!!:D It smells, feels and tastes the same??:rolleyes:

I did a pan drop last Friday to look at the magnet and install a new filter.....used 4.5 quarts and it seems to work just fine!!:bows:

BTW....minimal dust on the magnet...old filter looked like new after 25K miles.......TOTAL miles on transmission...156,650......72 ,650 with the blower!!!!!!!!!!!!!:banana:

Whenever it dies I will have a BC tranny ASAP!!;)

So........was wondering.........is Mercon V the same regardless whose label you use----for example-------same Mercon V but say 2 qts of say Ammoco's and the rest say from Advance .....would you use all in a single drain -refil?--or use all from the same vendor?....any thoughts.?

[magindat]

Shouldn't matter. Mercon V is a specification. I'm in the middle of diluting from all Castrol to Redine.

Thanks Rich---I'm kinda in this situation --having two diff suppliers on my garage shelf--don't know how that happen either....--same Mercon V ---

It should meet ALL Ford specs if it is labeled Mercon V and blending from different suppliers shouldn't matter??:confused:

Heck, they all might come from the same company tank for all we know!!:beer:

I'd be willing to bet none of it comes from CHINA!!!!:shake::cool:

I did use Advance's Mercon V until I saw the Castrol was on sale and bought a 12qt case of it.

^^^what magindat said^^^

Mercon V is a spec, so any ATF that meets MV spec is compatible with any other. Mixing different brands is not a problem.

'jack, that price from AAP is a really good one...thanks for the tip!

I guess that it's not any better but I get the Motor Craft Mercon V ATF for around $3.40 per quart.

[RF Overlord]

Shora, where do you get that price? Last case I bought from the dealer was $4.19/qt. No one else around me carries Motorcraft.

It's from a Ford Dealer here in South, FL.
I buy 2-3 cases at a time.
