Hello,
Things used to be simpler, everything is always being improved.

I'm considering using Castrol Transmax ATF in my 94 A4OD (A4LD*). I used to simply walk to the NEX garage from the MWR hobby shop and grab up Mercon IV, V or the current improved formula. Hobby shop closed, very slim pickings at the NEX garage.

The label states that it is compatible with Ford Mercon multi-purpose ATF; is their any reason not to use it in the A4OD (A4LD*)?

Assuming A4LD, any fluid that has a Dexron/Mercon spec should be fine. I usually default to Maxlife on everything I service now.
