Mercon V is the most common type of Ford Automatic transmission fluid (ATF) used in earlier year model Fords, it is very much like Dexron III. Dyed with Red color to detect leaks, It is a fully synthetic ATF. Motorcraft MERCON V (Actually a Roman numeral 5 not "Vee" as most people think) is a premium-quality automatic transmission fluid. Formulated & Recommended by Ford Motor Company for use in Ford, Lincoln, and Mercury vehicles that require either MERCON V or the old type MERCON type fluid. I did some research and found that FORD does not make MERCON anymore as suggested in the owner's guide for 2006 Ford Escape Hybrid and there were Technical Service Bulletin (TSBs) released indicating "MERCON V" as the replacement transmission fluid. The Ford (TSB) 06-14-04 indicates that Mercon "V" is to replace the original Mercon fluid. The vehicle uses 5.3 quarts (5.0L) and this 5 Quart jug is perfect and exact quantity needed to replace the factory fluid. Please note: Warning! Do not use this in Transfer cases. or put them inside PTUs. Using any transmission fluid other than those that meet the recommended specification may cause internal transaxle damage. Do NOT use Motorcraft MERCON CVT (blue) ATF in 2006 ford escape hybrids. You need to use the "RED" color fluid. This Ford 2006 escape hybrid vehicle uses only prior generation Motorcraft MERCON ATF (Unavailable) installed from factory and can be substituted with the new Mercon V (The product reviewed here) Pricing on Amazon is competitive and if you are prime member it gets delivered to your door in couple of days what is there to complain? Product reviewed here is Genuine ATF shipped and sold by Amazon. Rating the product with five stars!
