Exclamation Suggested MTX-75 Fluids

This is quoted from Terry Haines from FordContour.org. Terry rebuilds MTX-75s which quite a few NECO and Contour members have installed in their vehicles.

Quote:
DO NOT USE ATF OR EP type oils in ANY MTX75*
*Friction mod is not needed....unless 'you' have an issue with the lube...Stay away from it if you can*

*MY Choice of lubes in decending order:-

1. Motorcraft 'Full Synthetic Manual Transmission Fluid # XT-M5-QS ('honey')

2. Royal Purple 'Syncromax'

3. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 European Motor Oil

4. (General) A Full Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Engine oil...which includes:-

Mobil Delvac 1, 5w40 (full synthetic, a reformulated version of Mobil 1 which is intended for diesel engines)
Chevron Delo 400, 5w40 (full synthetic version)
Shell Rotella T (full synthetic version, not to be confused with Rotella SB synthetic blend or regular Rotella T non-synthetic)



Thats 'IT'!!!!
Why you should NOT use ATF in your MTX-75.

The TSB on it

Here is a reference chart should anyone doubt the suggested fluid:
