## Questions & Answers

**Q: How many quarts of the xl-12 are you providing for $29.99?**
A: One quart.

**Q: Does any one know if I can put it in the power steering for my 2003 ford explorer V8?**
A: No. Use Mercon V ATF for power steering. This is only for transfer case which should be changed every 30k miles if you have 4wd or AWD

**Q: Does any know if this fluid works in a 2003 Ford Explorer XLT 4.6L SOHC 4X4 and automatic 4 wheel drive Transfer Case. Manufacter Date 08/2002 Thx...**
A: Your vehicle calls for Motorcraft Mercon ATF which is no longer manufactured. Motorcraft Transfer Case Fluid XL-12 is the replacement for Mercon ATF.

**Q: I ordered this product from amazon and recieved mercon lv  automatic transmission fluid. is it the same product?**
A: NO!!! Send it back or keep for your transmission if it uses LV trans fluid.  I have got both from the local dealer for maintenance.
