Requesting a ruling from the experts here on the steering fluid spec please. The shop manual shows Mercon Multi Purpose (ATF Transmission Fluid XT-2-QDX, local Ford dealer says any transmission fluid will work :cautious:. There's no XT-2-QDX spec on the Mercon V bottle?

That's the exact model number (XT-5-QMC) Rich Brooks had me pick up a month ago for mine.

That was all I could find as well.

Says right on the bottle that it replaces Mercon.
I have some of the original blend. Keep an eye on BaT for it.

That is what I have been using on the cars I replace the p/s hose on.
