Friction Modifiers. DON'T MIX V and LV. They are different.
Yes I think it is safe
If it doesn't say Mercon V, you can't use it. Period.
Need to check specs- ATF4 for Chryslers, some Japanese, couple European cars cars is synthetic and NOT compatible with Dextron/Mercon old Dextron 3 squeezed dinosaur fat oil. Valvoline synthetic likely to be NOT compatable unless it EXPLICITLY STATES equal to Dextron/Mercon
There's no need to guess, if you go to the auto parts store and give them the year, make, and model, they will tell you what is OK and what isn't. You could probably do it over the phone too.
- Have 98 Ford Ranger, 4.0, 171,000 miles, auto trans with limited slip. I've owned truck since new and have changed trans fluid every 30-35 000 miles and have never towed anything. The majority of the 171,000 miles are interstate driving. The truck shifts fine with no jerking or slippage. What I do get is thump(s) in rear end when I come to a stop, as gears are downshifting. Do I need a new transmission? Any suggestions? I suppose it's a "clunk" I hear and feel when I come to a stop, not a thump.
- Found transmission fluid in radioator of my ford sports trac and trans is not shifting? Replaced radiator and found trans fluid in it well after I have been driving it and now it won't move at all should I have to replace transmission or?
