I don't have a garage to work on my car and my local mechanic said if I bring him the fluids he'll do the drain and fill for $20. I thank you in advance for your time.

I use 2.7L of Mobil 1 ATF and 0.3L XL7.. and had used Mobil 1 and XL3 for 110,000 kms before I had to change my transmission due to grinding issue.. There has been major controversy on what type of fluid to use.. if you can afford the Ford Honey (which is like $20 US a quart) is the safe bet.. though Iâ�?��?�m sure Mobil 1 is fine.. I have the original Manual and a Haynes manual and they state to use ATF.. I know it has been revised recently, but my car had survived 110,000 kms on Mobil 1 before too much "over enthusiastic drivingâ�?� ruined the synchros.. Cheers Martin P.S. Hopefully I don't get Flamed for recommending Mobil 1 :P 98 Contour V6 MTX CTA Exhaust/CTA Intake/MSDS Y-pipe/Bat Handling Kit/Predator Alarm/Spec1 Clutch Kit/SVT Flywheel/G Assurances Fix your car yourself "It's not a UFO."
