very stupid question

[lightning_msd]

hi guys,
i know this is a very stupid question, and its a lil off topic,
but does anyone know what type of transmission fluid goes into a 87-91 AOD Automatic transmission?, the dipstick doesnt say (my brother or the one under the hood), my owners manuel doesnt say, i know it takes mercon, but i thought there was different kinds of mercon like mercon V and mercon lll, i dunno?

i think it is called dextron III mercon.

Make sure you get the rite fluid for any tanny . turbo 350,c4or6 ford. its not like oil. you can ruin your tranny if you dont put the rite fluid in brett

My 88 F-350 with a c-6 takes Dextron IV. Find your owners manual and dont put the wrong stuff in!

Should take mercon 3.

The newer mercon will also work with it, they make them backwards compatable somehow.

[lightning_msd]

owners manual just says mercon (C) and thats it

[fordman]

c? candian? that might be a rating of the fluid. looke on the botles to see if they have a c for a rating maybe.

[spartman]

Then you can use the mercon3/dexron stuff from your local auto store or even (yuck) wal-mart


I think the (c) he is referring to is a copyright marker.
