The 2008 Ford Expedition requires Mercon V transmission fluid, which is a synthetic type known for providing excellent gear protection. Whenever you change the oil in your SUV, it's important to also check the transmission fluid to ensure it's at the proper level and free of debris. If you spot any metal shavings or notice a metallic or reflective appearance in the fluid, it indicates the presence of debris. In such cases, flushing the transmission promptly is recommended to prevent further damage to the gears, which could lead to expensive repairs.
The manual for the 2008 Ford Expedition recommends using Mercon V ATF as the transmission fluid.
My owner's manual for the 2008 Expedition recommends using Mercon SP. XT-6-QSP or Mercon SP for the transmission fluid.
