I know my son's pld 2010 Fg EcoLPi used a BTR auto trans. Anyone with one (or later) know what ATF was specified in the owners' handbook for these?

I've contacted https://www.dsinternational.com.au/ for comment on the suitability of Dexron VI Mercon LV Multivehcile in BTR transmission buy I suspect the will say as they have never tested anything but TQ95 in these transmissions they cannot advise.

I'm pretty sure EcoLPi was released in July 2011 and they use the ZF 6-speed auto. I think your son's car is an Egas model, which used the 4-speed auto.

I don't see a problem using the Mercon LV, it is used in other ford 6 speeds based on the ZF design.

But no you are both missing the point this is for an Australian manufactured BTR/ION/DSI 4 speed L85/L95 designed to use only TQ95 not a ZF box. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drivet..._International and page 47 of https://www.tiperformance.com.au/Ref...Speed_Auto.pdf etc.
