Motorcraft Automatic Transmission Fluid MERCON LV 1 Quart XT10QLVC — Smooth Shifting, Thermal Stability

Motorcraft XT10QLVC is a 1-quart bottle of MERCON LV automatic transmission fluid formulated to meet Ford and Lincoln requirements for MERCON LV applications.

This Motorcraft MERCON LV fluid is engineered to match Ford's factory specifications for many Ford, Lincoln and select Mercury models. It’s a fully formulated transmission fluid made from high-viscosity-index hydroprocessed base oils and targeted additives to promote smooth shifting, thermal stability and protection against wear, deposits and corrosion. Use it where MERCON LV is specified, and always confirm compatibility with your owner’s manual and official transmission fluid charts before topping or servicing.

Which vehicles and systems is this 1-quart bottle intended for?

This XT10QLVC bottle is intended for a broad range of Ford, Lincoln and some Mercury models that call for MERCON LV fluid, as well as for many post‑2012 power steering systems and transfer cases. It covers electronically controlled automatic transmissions specified for MERCON LV. It is not appropriate for transmissions requiring other MERCON grades or specialty fluids.

• Designed for specific Ford models including F-150, Super Duty series, Explorer, Edge, Escape, Transit family, Mustang and many vans and chassis cabs (check years in your manual).
• Covers Lincoln Continental, MKC, MKZ, MKX, MKT, MKS, Navigator and Town Car models listed for MERCON LV.
• Also fits certain Mercury models like Mariner and Milan where MERCON LV is required.
• Suitable for transfer cases and power steering systems built after 2012 when MERCON LV is specified.

How does MERCON LV help transmission performance?

This formulation is designed to deliver consistent shift quality across a wide temperature range and to resist breakdown from heat and shear. The additive package helps reduce shudder, limits deposit formation and maintains fluidity at low temperatures for reliable cold starts.

• High-viscosity-index base oils maintain stable viscosity under load.
• Additives reduce foam, gum, sludge and lacquer buildup.
• Formulation provides oxidation and shear resistance for longer service life.
• Red dye aids quick leak recognition during inspections.

Can I use Motorcraft MERCON LV instead of other transmission fluids?

Only use this MERCON LV product where the vehicle manufacturer specifically calls for MERCON LV. It should not replace MERCON V, MERCON SP (except TorqShift), MERCON ULV, FNR5, Type F, Motorcraft Premium ATF, Continuously Variable Chain type fluids or fluids specified for power-take-off units.

• Confirm fluid grade in the vehicle owner’s manual or official Ford transmission charts.
• Avoid cross-using with MERCON V/SP/ULV, FNR5 or Type F applications.
• Not intended for Continuously Variable Chain Type transmissions or PTO units.

What are the material and protection benefits of this ATF?

Motorcraft MERCON LV is built from refined base stocks and targeted performance additives to protect internal components from wear, rust and corrosion while maintaining cleanliness. These properties support reliable operation and help inhibit common fluid-related issues that can shorten transmission life.

• Wear protection to safeguard clutches and gear surfaces.
• Rust and corrosion inhibitors protect metal parts during service and storage.
• Thermal and oxidation stability reduces fluid degradation under heat stress.
• Low-temperature fluidity aids dependable lubrication at startup.
