| MERCON® V, MERCON® SP, Motorcraft Premium Automatic Transmission Fluid, Motorcraft Continuously Variable Chain Type Transmission Fluid and FNR5 transmission fluid are not interchangeable transmission fluids. The use of any transmission fluid other than what is recommended for the transaxle will cause transaxle damage. Refer to the material specification for the correct transmission fluid. The transmission fluid should be changed every 96,560 km (60,000 mi) regardless of normal or special operating conditions. | |
| CAUTION: Do not use water-based cleaners to clean or flush the transmission fluid cooler tubes or transaxle damage will occur. Mineral spirits can be used to clean the transmission fluid cooler tubes, providing the transmission fluid cooler tubes are flushed with clean transmission fluid and blown dry with shop air. Use only clean transmission fluid designated for this transaxle and torque converter being serviced. | |
