jaysonfordtech Posted March 19, 2009 Share Posted March 19, 2009 Can anyone tell me what exactly this stuff is? The vehicles older then about 2005 still call for the old not available mercon, but the newer stuff calls for this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysonfordtech Posted March 20, 2009 Author Share Posted March 20, 2009 Thanks larry, I saw that at the MC website. I was just wondering if anyone has some inside info on what the difference is between that and old mercon, and should we use that instead of merc 5 in tcase applications that still call for mercon.

Definitely do not use Mercon 5 in transfer cases calling for the old mercon. I was told by a technical hotline engineer that as little as 1 teaspoon of mercon 5 in the transfer case of a 2002 Explorer would take out the clutches for the AWD system. The fluid could transfer through the con-joined vent tubes if the tranfer case vented enough. We still can get bulk "old mercon" style fluid from an aftermarket supplier(Esso) that is labelled as Motorcraft ATF D/M and has part # CXT 2 DBM on it. When/if this is no longer available, I would use the XL-12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
