I'm running the hord honey...if terry said Royal Purple is cool ...use it, but I'm waiting til the results come back from the lab. Run some straight ATF for the break in maybe.

Anyone care to answer this dumb question: What is Ford Honey? Must you purchase it straight from Ford, or is it a Mercon product? How do you ask for it? Do you need any other addatives like the friction modifier?  Mark

If you ask for the Ford Honey, chances are they're gonna look at you with a wtf'chyou'talkin'bout look on their face. Ask for the part number XT-M5-QS. It is a "synthetic manual transaxle" lube made by Ford, sold at ford dealerships. If they doubt you tell them there was a TSB for it back in 2000 ( link to TSB ) Add 2 oz of friction modifier, a ford product part number: XL-7

Exactly why I didn't want to ask for it by the CEG name of "Ford Honey"
