In general, you can use MERCON V where MERCON / DEXTRON III is specified. However, you cannot use MERCON/DEXTRON III where MERCON V is called for. I know, it is confusing and the best thing to do would be ask your Suzuki dealers shop, . . . . then you'd probably be more confused. The newest Dexron VI is part synthetic same as Mercon V which makes it more resistant to thermal breakdown & shear. Interesting how all synthetic ATF fluids are compatible with (almost) all trannies. The SX4 is AWD and designed for rougher than normal soccer Mom use so if I was going to use it for four wheeling I'd spring for the full synthetic fluid and be done with it.
