    Might consider using what you use in your trans so you always have some for one or the other.. In all my years I never seen a problem using whichever type in a ps system so long as it was the same when servicing and refilling, topping etc..

    I put 2 coolers on mine. It just looked out of balance with just one. LOL. I figure at some point I'll use the second cooler for Motor oil or trans. :rolleyes:

    I agree with this. One less thing to have to remember/stock.

    Original Maverick transmissions used Type F, and so does the Mustang 5.0 Power Steering. I'd say Craig hit it dead on the money. Besides, Mercon V smells like cat urine, so I'd really hate to have a quart of that leak in the trunk!
