[QUOTE="Mark Kovalsky, post: 661059, member: 1654"] One that I know for sure is the anti-foam additive that is used in many MERCON V products. It is actually very, very, very small pellets. They are just small enough to fit between the spool valve and cylinder inside the solenoid. This will jam the solenoid. Then you need a new solenoids. And good luck ever flushing all of that out of there if you ever get MERCON V in the trans. Older transmissions (4R70W,, 4R100, etc.) that use MERCON V have solenoids, too. Why can they use MERCON V? Those solenoids did not have the very small clearances that the 5R110 solenoids have. Those solenoids will not be affected by the anti-foam particles in the fluid. There probably are other additives that will cause problems, but I don't know them. Transmission fluids are VERY specialized fluids. Running a fluid that doesn't meet the manufacturer's specs is just asking for expen$ive transmission problems. [/QUOTE]
