Re: What transmission fluid to use for '98 3.8L?
I just siphoned another 1/3 quart of PS fluid out (looks black) and put Mobile 1 Synthetic ATF in there. For safety's sake as not to have mixed up fluids, I will do this everyday for one week so that most of the fluid is composed of the new Mobile 1 Synthetic ATF. The siphone and the add fluid process only takes 10 minutes.

And for the transmission, from what I have read from here and from other forums (Wiswind and DRW1000 you two guys seem to be everywhere, lol), I will stick with the Ford Motorcraft Mercon V fluids. I'll probably buy 9 qt of those for the tranny.
