Our take on the Valvoline DEX/MERC Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 qt, Case of 6

Valvoline DEX/MERC is a conventional automatic transmission fluid blended for older Ford and GM automatics that call for Mercon or Dexron/Mercon-type fluid. It also covers Allison C-4, Caterpillar TO-2 and Ford M2C138-CJ, so it serves older trucks, vans and work vehicles that predate the newer Mercon V and Dexron VI specs. It is not a universal fluid: modern transmissions that require Mercon V, Mercon LV, Dexron VI or a manufacturer-specific spec need a different product. Owners value the six-quart case for a full drain and refill on older vehicles, though the 3.5-star average suggests mixed results for some buyers.

Questions and answers

Does this work in a transmission that needs Mercon V or Dexron VI?
No. This fluid is for Mercon and Dexron/Mercon-era specs. Mercon V, Mercon LV and Dexron VI transmissions need a fluid labeled for those specs.
How many quarts does a typical drain and refill take?
Most older automatic transmissions take four to six quarts for a pan drop and refill, so one case usually covers a single service.
Is this a synthetic fluid?
No. It is a conventional fluid made from premium base stocks with an additive package for older transmissions.
Can I use it in power steering or manual gearboxes?
Only if the vehicle's owner manual specifies a Dexron/Mercon-type ATF for those systems. Otherwise use the fluid the manual calls for.
What is the red color for?
The red dye helps distinguish ATF from motor oil and makes it easier to spot leaks and read the dipstick.
Where is the Valvoline DEX/MERC Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 qt, Case of 6 cheapest?
At Sears, for $82.87, as of our latest check.
What do buyers say about the Valvoline DEX/MERC Automatic Transmission Fluid 1 qt, Case of 6?
