Also Ironically, the text printed on the back of the container word for word was IDENTICAL with the exception of the brand names on the Pennziol and SuperTech jugs at walmart yesterday. The containters and prices were different.

So I shouldn't use the Dex\Merc that I have already? I usually change the oil every 3000 miles so I figured flush it now, and swap 4 quarts every oil change like mentioned by someone. I want to make sure the fluid is right however. I can only find AdvanceAuto MercV, or Motorcraft MercV which is...

I think they started using MerconV in 2003. This truck only has 70k on it, and I think the fluid was changed once. May have been MercV and now they are mixed. That could be the problem. If it will not do harm, I would like to just drain and pump all the old out and start over rather than to just...

The 02 Escapes came with Mercon. There is a lot of controversy about this. Apparently MercV was not compatible for a long time and caused issues.

So it would be fine if I just did a pan drop, then again next time I changed the oil, not knowing what is in there now?

I have a 2002 Ford Escape with an automatic cd4e trans. I have read that you should use Mercron only, which is no longer licensed. I also read that you can now use Mercron-v as it was made backward compatible. I just bought this truck with 70k on it, and the fluid has been changed once around...
