I just put a new tranny in my 1994 Explorer and now need to add fluid.
Book calls for 9.7 Quarts of Mercon.
I have also noted that a number of sites state "Use Only Mercon Not Dexron".
Question/s:
Many of the present fluid state that they are suitable for Mercon/Dexron Applications, i.e. Both. I need to know if these are suitable or should I use only Mercon? If so, what is the best suitable and recommended for this tranny.
I have also found a Mercon Synthetic and question the suitability of this type.
Any positive suggestions/recommendations would be very helpful since I don't want to have a premature failure of Trans.
Thanks
