What ATF do you run in the AW4? Haynes says Mercon ATF. Is Dex II/Mercon okay? I'll buy whatever I need but I want to get it right.

Valvoline MaxLife Multi-Vehicle ATF (with DEX/MERC) on the label (red bottle, full synthetic).

Thank you, especially because I used to work for Ashland Oil once in my life!

Run dextron Mercron but I would stay away from valvoline max life anything it has seal conditioners and in my experience they have made my slow leaks worse just my opinion tho

Dexron 2/Mercon is what the factory used. It was replaced with Dexron3/Mercon. Either one will keep your AW4 happy.
