CAUTION: MERCON, MERCON V, MERCON SP, Motorcraft Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid and Motorcraft Continuously Variable
Chain Type Transmission Fluid are not interchangeable transmission fluids. The use of any fluid other than what is recommended for this transmission
will cause transmission damage.
CAUTION: Do not attempt to clean or flush the oil-to-air (OTA) transmission fluid cooler. Contamination may remain in the cooler and eventually
be returned to the transaxle, causing internal transaxle damage. If the transaxle is to be overhauled or if installing a new transaxle, install a new
transmission fluid cooler.
NOTE: When carrying out a fluid change interval, the removal of the fluid pan and filter is not required. When carrying out a fluid change interval,
the installation of a new high-pressure case filter and seals is required.
