- Which transmissions is Valvoline Dex/Merc for?
- It is for older GM and Ford automatics that specify Dexron III or Mercon. It is not for Dexron VI, Mercon LV or SP, or any CVT.
- Can I use it in a modern car?
- Only if the owner's manual lists Dexron III or Mercon. Most cars built after the mid-2000s need a newer, lower-viscosity fluid.
- Is it synthetic?
- No. It is a conventional automatic transmission fluid, not a full synthetic.
- How much fluid does a drain-and-fill take?
- A typical pan drop and refill takes roughly 4 to 6 quarts, so one gallon often covers it. A full flush needs more.
- Can I use it for power steering?
- Yes, in older systems that call for Dexron or Mercon fluid. Do not use it where the manual specifies a dedicated power steering fluid.
