37Chief 08-08-2012 17:16:16 68.8.206.100 Report to Moderator	I would like to change the transmission fluid in my camper. It is a 02 V 10 Ford, F 450. It takes Mercon V. Ford wants 8.00 a qt, Orielly Has valvoline, and wants 6.00 qt. Wallmat has their brand Supertech at 4.27. Any thoughts on what oil will be ok. Who makes Wallmart oil. I doubt it's China like everything else.Stan [Reply]   [No Email]

I tried using Citgo one time and the two oils did not agree with each other and it turned to a gell inside the transmission. [Reply]  [No Email]

Think I 'd look and see what brand name TSC or Wal-Mart might have. The Super Tech is probably okay and I've used it in older stuff I wasn't to concerned about but it in my warped mind it seems risky to go with a store brand especially from a store like Wal-Mart. Yes I know the Mobil, Valvoline, Castrol or Shell is probably bottled in the same plant as some of the Super-Tech but I dn't like to think about it. [Reply]  [No Email]

Might be worthwhile to see if you can get Ford Mercron V at WM as well. Might want to check their online store, see if they carry it (can order online and deliver to your store , about a week.) Found this discussion for you: http://www.f150online.com/forums/transmissions/248843-where-buy-motorcraft-atf-mercon-v-not-dealer.html Just trying to be helpful. Ralph in OK. [Reply]  [No Email]

I use it in my lawn mowers and in some of my old tractors. That transmission sounds like an expensive thing to take a chance on though. Hopefully someone can tell us who makes it! [Reply]  [No Email]
