I've used Mobil 1 LV HP in my 2017 Ford Fusion with the 6F35 Transmission since It first came out. I have about 160 K using the Mobil 1 LV fluid with outstanding results. The MC ATF was black when I bought the car in 2018 with 26K. I noticed the transmission had a little shifting squireliness so...

Must be Mobil 1.

My latest was Mobil 1 Extended Performance High Mileage 5w30 for both of my Ford Fusions. Oil filters were Mobil 1 102 A for my 2017 Fusion and MC 2017 B cartridge for my 2007 Fusion.

I changed the plugs yesterday. The old ones were NGK with 90K and they were 20-30 over spec. I replaced them with Motor Craft Iridium plugs.

NGK LTR51X-11
