What type of Transmission fluid for automatic 1995 Ford Escort LX?

Need to add transmission fluid, extremely low, but I've been told I need a specific type?


Asking around, someone said any type of standard automatic transmission fluid will work, but I want to make sure.





Thanks ahead of time!|||It takes Mercon (equivalent to Dexron III) , Ford has discontinued use of Mercon and now recommends using Mercon V in any transmission originally using Mercon.|||the other two guys are not wrong but given the year of your car, and assuming that you have never changed your fluid and even if you have brought it somewhere to have it changed, they used mercon or dextron3. now when you go buy dex3 the bottles say dextron/mercon. It is completely safe for you to put this in and do not need to change to mercon V. if you add that to a different fluid, you are reformulating to fluids viscosity. it will probably work fine, but go with the dex3. Ive been rebuilding ford transmissions for 17 years. its what i do %26amp; what i know very well. good luck.|||like he said but if your like me and ALWAYS forget, when ever you go to autozone or advanve auto or whatever, they can pull it up on there computer and tell you


also just wanted to tell you cause alot of people dont know, but check your transmission fluid at normal tempature and while the vehicle is running, good luck
