In the forum it says to use Mercon V in the 1996-98 Mark VIII's. What should I run in a 1995 Mark VIII? The book says regular Mercon, I'm just not so sure. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!

They didn't even make mercon V way back then thats why its not said to use. You now use mercon v.
I use mobil 1, synthetic ATF in both 98's. It's pretty good stuff. check it out

On so many levels!
My 94 Mark trans. had the 'infamous shudder' at highway speeds in OD, when I first got it last March.
After everyone here said to, I changed trans. fluid to Mercon V w/ new filter and gasket... no shudder for over a year now. (and I have been known to drive it hard from time to time). And BTW, use an OEM pan gasket. Teh ones that come with parts-store filters are flimsy crap compared to the OEM one I got from Max.

I used the factory re-usable pan gasket the whole ten years I owned my '96. And I'm using the factory gasket on my '97 also. As long as you don't bend or cut it you can use it indefinitely.
