[QUOTE="DSCobra01, post: 10061472, member: 13534"] I called a few dealerships today and went to two of them looking for Ford Motorcraft AFT Mercon/Dexron III (part number XT-2-QDX). What I heard from the parts department at both dealerships is that part number XT-2-QDX has been discontinued and instead what they recommend is Ford Motorcraft ATF Mercon V (part number XT-5-QMC). I've read though numerous threads, including this one, and I've heard to stay away from Ford Motorcraft Mercon V even though Ford refers to it as the replacement for Ford Motorcraft Mercon III. Is this thinking right? Also, I read here that the Motorcraft Mercon V is synthetic even though it doesn't say that on the bottle. Is that correct? If the Ford Motorcraft Mercon III is no longer available, would I be better off going to Autozone to get a Penzoil, Valvoline or Mobil 1 Mercon III non-synthetic? This will be my first transmission fluid change and I've always had a notoriously loud and notchy transmission. Along with the proper fluid, filled to the proper amount (3.2 qts), I'm hoping to fix some of my issues with the 3650. A CobraBob shifter gasket is also going on to hopefully cut down on some of the noise and vibration from the transmission through my MGW shifter. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
