What is the recommended ATF for Ford EcoSport?

Recommended ATF for Ford EcoSport
The recommended automatic transmission fluid (ATF) for the Ford EcoSport depends on the specific model and year of the vehicle. It’s important to use the type of oil recommended in the owner’s manual of your EcoSport. However, if there is an emergency and you do not have access to the owner’s manual, you can use the following list as a guide:
– Mercon V: Created especially for Ford cars since 1999.
– ATF+3, ATF+4 (MS 7176 and MS 9602): Mainly used for Jeep, Chrysler, and Dodge cars. The ATF+4 fluid is synthetic and can also be used in most Dodge, Plymouth, BMW, Mercedes, Volkswagen, and Jeep cars.
