I e-mailed XM about Mazda-MV and it is no longer suitable. Bummer. I have been using it in the Fusion and works very well, but in the future will go with MC Fusion ATF. FNR5 or something like that. Can still use Mobil 1 ATF in the PS pumps and transmission in the Focus.

I'm always interested in fluid options on the Fusion/Mazda6. But I don't necessarily trust the Ford or Mazda counterman to give me the correct spec fluid.
5 Speed. MC FNR5 from Ford is the correct fluid for the Fusion. The M1 I have been using in the Fusion sure seems great. Hate to use something else.

Your right. The Mobil tech did say the Mobil 1 ATF I have been using is the same fluid as what they now have.

A JATCO JF506E (relabeled by Mazda as 5F31J) 5 speed automatic? My 2003 Mazda MPV is so equipped; the OEM fill was Mazda M-III, a Dexron II clone. The 5F31J is a common maintenance problems in 2002-2006 MPVs; it often fails before the 100K mile mark.
In an attempt to forestall such failure, I change my ATF using a cooler line flush every 30-35K miles. Given the OEM fill, I used Dex/Merc in my first two ATF changes but my most recent fill is Dexron VI augmented by Lubegard Red, which works well.
It is hard to believe that Mazda M-V or some MC equivalent contains any secret sauce as far as the JATCO JF506E is concerned.
