[QUOTE="tensixniner, post: 563182, member: 699"] Some time in 2008 Ford changed the fluid spec for the ZF6 in a diesel application from Mercon V to Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid. If you compare the 2008 Diesel Owners Guide to the 2009 and 2010 editions you'll see this. I don't know why they did this. If I had to guess I'd say because of noise and shifting. The Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid is a quality fluid, there are lots of others using it in different applications. Right now I have Redline D4 ATF in both the trans and t-case. I tried Redline MTL in the trans and it was slower to shift when cold, I didn't notice a warm weather improvement either. Just because the Ford Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid has a GL-4 spec I wouldn't call it a gear oil. Redline D4 ATF has the same GL-4 spec and it's sold as an ATF. It's Ford's formulation and I don't know what it really is or it's equivalent from another brand. I'm pretty sure my synchro's are getting tired. When the trans gets overhauled I'll be using the XT-M5-QS. [/QUOTE]
