What is the difference between Mercon V and MV??
Is really conduse. I thought that was the same but apparently are differents. A call the Mazda dealer (I am from Central America) al I asked for the ATF for Mazda 6. They Told me that they use the MERCON V, not the MV. They told me that are the same but I read that are differents.
Impossible to get the MV here. I had to bought the Mercon V, but by mistake I replace some months ago for a normal ATF, because in the Manual are a Mazda 6 2wd and 4wd, I use the one that use the 4WD and the normal that you can get here everywhere. Bean the problem with tha transmission, shift.
