Synthetic Mercon

[bird hunter]

Does anyone know where you can find synthetic Mercon ATF for the ZF? I understand the best ATF for these is synthetic Mercon, but NOT Mercon V. I just can't find any - I can only find the dino Mercon or the synthetic Mercon V. Anybody know who makes it and where you can get it??

Thanks in advance.

Mercon V now supercedes original Mercon.

I know it didn't use to be that way, but Ford has amalgamated their requirement.

I don't recall if it was on here, or another forum I frequent, but somebody recommended a 50w synth ATF from medium/heavy truck applications. I'll be checking into that for the next trans oil change.
