Does it say on the bottle something to the effect of: "For applications that require Dexron III / Mercon automatic trans fluid", along with: "Not for use in applications that require Mercon V fluid"?

If so, then you have the correct stuff. :icon_thumby:

May be wrong, but don't the newer models spec Mercon V for the trans?

Newer everything specs Merc V because the original stuff was discontinued and V is supposed to be backwards compatible, but many people report shifting issues when using V.

Click to expand...
2008 & later specifies Mercon-V for the M5OD.

Edit:
Looking back at the OP, he simply stated "5spd"... Perhaps we should make sure he indeed meant the stickshift, and not the 5-speed automatic...

The auto actually does spec Merc V as far back as 1997 I think.
