    Motorcraft Mercon LV alternatives for Ford HF35 hybrid transmissions

    These synthetic fluids such as Amsoil Signature Fuel Efficient or Redline D6 ATF can be mixed with Mercon LV as a simple drain and full or you have to empty it completely and add 100% synthetic (which would be better to maintain the characteristics). Thanks

    Motorcraft Mercon LV alternatives for Ford HF35 hybrid transmissions

    Hi guys, after days of research, I've found the oil with the best VI values: Blockfield - 40, Visc 100*, Redline D6 ATF.

    Sorry, but I think you're mistaken. Both electric motors are connected to the internal combustion engine via the epicyclic gear mechanism.

    Thanks for your reply. From further investigation, a modified HF35 was produced in 2018, with code CB (like mine). The problem was reduced but not eliminated, as reported by some owners. In fact, in 2022, a transmission with code CC was produced, where they almost eliminated the problem. Before...
