Mercon V is a very good synthetic transmission fluid used in Ford products from 2001-present. I have it in my 560SEL and even with the reverse going out on it, the rest of the transmission shifts fine. I would like to point out though that I have noticed my transmission leaking quite alot more now possible due to the new fluid. My trans needs a rebuild anyway so it doesnt bother me. I know it needs to be done soon.

Just do not use Mercon V in the power steering system with old or original parts. I learned the hard way... I had to replace both lines and now still have fluid leaking from the steering box.
