Where can I buy this transmission fluid?
Its the Motorcraft Premium AutomaticTransmission Fluid XT-8-QAW its for my 2007 Ford Five Hundred SEL. Where can I buy it autozone? O Reilly?
When you can't find the right fluid application for your vehicle at the auto part store: Pay a visit to your local FORD dealer. Do you know what transmission the car has? What is the 17 digit VIN? Without the correct information. Anybody guess is as good as yours.
If you want to buy it online:

What happen if you listen to an answer which gave you the wrong information and your transmission is ruined?
Even at the stores, they will ask the same basic questions, the dealer will ask for the VIN of the car (Their first question)
Call or go to the store and ask, they're normally has catalogs, computers, data base to find what the corrected fluid applications for your vehicle. All you need is make, model year or just drive the car over and they'll help. This is what I've copied straight from the maintenance cd:
Motorcraft Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid XT-8-QAW (US); CXT-8-LAW12 (Canada)
MERCON®, MERCON® V, MERCON® SP, Motorcraft Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid and Motorcraft Continuously Variable Chain Type Transmission Fluid are not interchangeable transmission fluids. The use of any fluid other than what is recommended for this transmission will cause transmission damage. Refer to the Owner/Schedule Maintenance Guide to determine the correct service interval for the specific vehicle.

I don't see it anywhere on parts stores list
I can't say where that BRAND is sold, but you can buy the equivalent EVERYWHERE that sells transmission fluid, including the average GROCERY store.
Sorry - you don;t say if it's the conventional automatic or the CVT, and whether you have FWD or AWD.
Any brand that meets Ford specs is fine… BUT when it was time to service our Five Hundred CVT/AWD, our mechanic sourced genuine Motorcraft fluids and filters from the Ford dealer… And we kept the receipts! (Those things aren't fragile but require proper maintenance - and we wanted to prove we did it right).
ADDED @ FlagMichael - - - XT-8-QAW is the Ford number for their "Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid"… Surely it should be available at Ford dealerships… If not, doing a quick search I see it's available on Amazon.
Call several parts store's. If the don't carry the equivalent then your stuck buying from the dealer. Which we do for warranty purposes
8 year old car, don't know where they sell your fluid.
Seems to me Mercon IV is available everywhere.
It is not synthetic. In use since The mayflower.
If yours had some previous work and a change to what's in use?
only your records can tell you.
Parts store, warehouse store, discount store,
dealer, dealers source warehouse. Transmission shop.
Everybody has the Kind you use.
Does it agree with your specification exactly?
That's the countermans job at the higher quality parts store
or your dealer service parts department. Or the transmission shops parts counter.
Some places, the kid reads the label and says, uh, i think we can get you some struts from the warehouse.
Do you shop there?
You have to connect with your true help
because chemicals and fluids for cars can't be shipped
without the correct material handling precautions and labeling.
But you don't have to listen to internet people, just call the Ford parts counter.
Ask them to read the reverse side of the bottle to you
I don't know what they tell you, but when I tell the area to ship to
The computer tells me chemicals that need proper handling
can't be shipped, and to find them locally. Rather than pay the additional, it ends up the same or pretty close.
When you google ( equivalent to XT-8-QAW specification )
There are several ideas there.
For the purist.
Mobil 3309, a cross reference to Subaru, are you getting the hanga this yet?
Dad always yelled, just use type F, for cryin out loud.
Sheesh.
I spent 3 hours searching sites and reading specs and what are do's and don'ts for ATF for my german car.
Translated to english and from UK to US ended up at Dexron III.
at any point I could have spent 3 to 4 times the amount for the most common thing I can buy. But it won't go in a type F. But type F will go in it.
savvy?
By the power vested in me by the state of new jersey, I now pronounce your car, a Ford.
Call them.
They think i'm a liar too.
Thirteen bucks a quart from Amazon.com.

Ebay has it for around $10 if you buy at least a 6 pak.

GET REAL and go ONLY to the FORD DEALERSHIP! In MICHIGAN we have a few GOOD family owned auto stores that stock ONLY FACTORY COOLANTS< OILS and FLUIDS from allover the world! AUDI OILS< AUDI coolant, ETC! YOUR FORD fluid can be had at ANY FORD DEALERSHIP! DUH! MOST things at either of the part stores you are asking about carry JUNK PARTS and JUNK fluids! Since you know the SPEC NUMBER< ask for it over the PHONE or ON-LINE!
- Where can I buy a transmission range sensor for a 1999 Ford Contour? I need a new transmission range sensor for my 1999 Ford Contour 2.0L 4cyl automatic but I can't seem to find them anywhere. I really don't want to take it into the shop and pay over $100 for it when I can buy it and replace it myself. If you could please paste links that have it or stores that have that brand please let me know. It would be such a simple fix if I was actually able to find one.
- Why would people buy a Toyota Hilux when they can buy a better, superior Ford Ranger? I owned a 2010 Toyota Camry and it broke down in 2011 upon reaching 0.6k miles. I treated it like a baby and it failed and disappointed me. My friend also owned a 2008 Toyota Tacoma and it failed to start in 2009 upon reaching 8k miles. And the mechanic said it was impossible to fix. However, my uncle has a 1965 Ford Falcon with over 750k miles on its clock and it still runs like new and he never even changed its oil since he bought it.
- Can you get a 2015 ford mustang and Chevy camaro in automatic transmission instead of manual transmission? Hi, I'm thinking about buying a 2015 ford mustang or Chevy camaro. Both of the cars come in manual transmission! Is it possible to get it in automatic transmission instead? Can I just ask the dealer (dealership) to give me the car with automatic transmission or do I have to change it myself?
- How is the fluid from my radiator on my 1996 Ford Thunderbird mixing with my auto transmission fluid? I've asked and asked and no one seems to have an answer. Please any ideas would be helpful to give me some sort of clue as to where to start to get this fixed. The car still runs fine but its starting to effect the gears changing. Please any ideas would help.
