<p>In general terms Dextron and Mercon are essentially the same. It
is basically the copyright to the name that is the major
difference. Dextron is purported to be backwards compatible to all
previous Dextron's. That said the Wiki link below seems to
differentiate some of that comparability (note the 2016 Dextron
specific to GM manual transmissions and is NOT for Automatic cars
despite the Dextron name)! Being Dextron is primarily an
Automatic transmission fluid running changes made for the Auto
trans <i>might</i> affect its use in the manual.</p>
<p> Automobile fluids (motor oil, trans fluid, gear oil) often get
close to a subject that could be Forum forbidden for the (at
times) contentious rancor that can ensue. All that said I use any
Dextron I have on hand but it is in my T-5 equipped Turbo Pinto. I
wish you the best in trying to make an informed decision. I'm just
relaying information not stating an opinion.<br>

I need to fill my T5 transmission with new fluid. Everything I've
read says to use Dexron ll or Murkor automatic transmission fluid
(atf). Is there a preferred brand of fluid for a 1994-1996 Ford BW
T5 transmission?
