By the way, there is no such thing as Mercon III. The confusion may lie in the fact that any fluid that mets Ford Mercon specs also meets General Motors Dexron specs. The current level of Dexron is Dexron III. Prior to that, there was Dexron, Dexron II, and Dexron IIE.
Jim, thanks for adding that bit of info. Oh yeah! Just so you'll know, I have a link to your Remote Trans Filter thread in the CD4E FAQ I started up there. Hince the reason I have taken it down. The other CD4E stickys will be coming down pretty soon as well.
