Re: What transmission fluid to use for '98 3.8L?

I recently checked the fine print on the back of Mobil 1 synthetic ATF - and was surprised to note that it now claims to meet the Mercon V spec.

I don't know when the change took place; read the back of whatever you buy carefully.

I have seen warnings published about multi-spec fluids. But, based on the fluids I see stocked today, it appears that those concerns have been overcome by newer technology.

In my area, I have seen single-spec Mercon V fluid supplied by Castrol.
