AODE tranny fluid

Mercon V is a syn blend of tranny fluid. It's pretty much like running syn blend engine oil. I have never head not to mix them.

I don't think so I remember when I worked at ford a while ago we had to drain it completly then use MV for the shutter issue. I personally don't like mixing fluids besides tranny and PS (only in the PS pump that is).

Just make sure you get as much out of it as you can. If you have a stock converter then take the drain plug out of it.

The best way to drain the the tranny is to take the cooler feed line off witch will be the lower line and hook up a piece of hose to it. Start your car and just let it idle and it will pump the fluid out. Once the fluid stops flowing turn your car off. Add 3-5qt of merc v fluid then start the car again and let it idle till the fluid stops flowing. Then drop the pan and change the filter and add fluid. I have done this and a few ford techs who do aode/4r70w's do this too. You wont hurt anything as long as you dont rev the engine with out fluid in the tranny and you turn the enging off when the fluid stops flowing.
