Is the trans fluid a dealer only item for the torqueshift automatic. mercon sp?

I might have to retract my previous statement.

I was checking autozone's website and I couldn't find any listing.

A guy from Fleet Filter told me this...
Napa carries the Dexron/Mercon III, then they sell LubeGard additives that meet the Ford requirements. Mix the two, and voila!
He didn't go into detail about ratio and what not so... the dealership is probably the best way to go!

I called PepBoys - they don't have it either!

I called Advanced Auto - they don't have it either!

So I think it's pretty safe to say you're going to need to get it from the dealership!

Hey Billy2006s,

There's not any real magic to the tranny fluid from the dealership...............it is a SYNTHETIC tranny fluid; AMSOIL makes their version of the Mercon-SP that meets/exceeds Ford specs if you'd like to go that route! It doesn't come cheap, but neither does the dealer! :D
