The same goes for PS FLUID. You use what the OWNERS MANUAL or a FOMOCO LUBE CHART (of the period calls for).

In January 1987, Ford released the original MERCON fluid specification (M2C185-A). MERCON became a trademarked fluid with qualification and licensing of fluids to ensure quality in the marketplace. This original MERCON Specification was backward compatible with the 1981 Ford Type-H fluid and the 1958 GM Type "A" Suffix "A" fluid.

NOTICE: This version of MERCON was compatible with GM DEXRON-II(D) and later formulations were compatible with DEXRON-III(H); however, future versions of MERCON (MERCON V, MERCON SP, MERCON LV, MERCON ULV) are not compatible with GM DEXRON-III(H) or any newer version of DEXRON (DEXRON-VI, DEXRON HP, DEXRON ULV).

MERCON V ATF - MERCON Licence No. M5091101

In 1996, Ford released the MERCON "V" fluid specification (M2C202-B).

Ford Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) 06-14-04 indicates that MERCON "V" is to replace the original MERCON fluid.

The MERCON "V" specification was revised in 2002 (M2C919-E).
