The 2006 Ford F-150 uses Dexron/Mercon transmission fluid, which should be changed every 30,000 to 60,000 miles. When the fluid is not replaced timely, the transmission may start making unpleasant noises. If the torque converter wears out, it can lead to troublesome headaches as the transmission is a critical component in your vehicle. You might encounter problems such as delayed shifting, slipping transmission, shuddering, rough gear changes, jerking, and gears getting stuck. In case of a transmission fluid leak, it is important to address the issue promptly.
how about this: Dexron III and Mercon are types of transmission fluids.
Consider using Mercon V instead of Dex for General Motors vehicles.
