ISSUE:
A new Transmission Fluid, MERCON (Ford Specification "MERCON") (XT-2- QDX, Quart), (XT-2-DDX, 55 Gallon Drum) is available
for service. Use of the Motorcraft "MERCON" transmission fluid, where specified, will improve cold weather shift effort and synchronized
operation.
ACTION:
The chart on page 44 of this TSB gives transmission fluid applications for automatic transmissions and certain manual transmissions for
Ford, Lincoln-Mercury, and Merkur vehicles.
NOTE:
The use of MERCON is NOT RECOMMENDED for power steering systems. The manual transmission lubricant for the 1985 Merkur XR4Ti
is a semi-synthetic oil. When adding oil to the transmission, use only E5RY-19C547-A (Ford Specification ESD-M2C175-A) or equivalent.
