ATF
Hey guys, I've got a question for you all.
I'm looking to buy around 10 quarts of Mercon V for a transmission fluid 'flush', poor man's version. Problem is, I can't find the bulk jugs of ATF, like I can with engine oil.
Reason I want the jugs is because I want to save her some money. However, it's becoming harder to find plain old Mercon V. I can only find these dex/merc multivehicle mixes, like this.

I'm a bit hesitant to use this, when the service manual for the vehicle specifically calls for Mercon V. It's an 00 Taurus if anyone is wondering, although I believe this applies to most other Ford products out there.
Would using this be O.K. or should I just bite the bullet and get ten of the smaller quart bottles? I don't want to replace this tranny down the road, and the last thing I want to do is 'brick' her only car. See my quandary? lol.
I would think this would work fine, after all it has to conform to certain specifications, and this product specifically is what I would wind up with. Valvoline after all isn't a no-name brand.
Thoughts?
