No. Type F and mercon have different friction factors. The only acceptable time to substitute one for the other is if you have had a transmission rebuilt and the mechanic recommends it.

Can you use type F fluid in 2001 Ford Taurus?

No. The Transaxle in a 1988-2006 Ford Taurus must use MERCON V. Both the AX4N and AX4S transaxle can ONLY use MERCON V. The power steering system also utilizes the MERCON V Fluid. The Power Steering system can ONLY use MERCON V.MERCON V is the latest MERCON Specification. All MERCON Fluids have been discontinued and replaced with the new MERCON V standard.IMPORTANT: Systems requiring MERCON V ARE NOTbackwards compatible with MERCON fluid. Do NOT use MERCON fluid in a system designed for use with MERCON V Fluid.However, Systems requiring MERCON fluid, can use MERCON V fluid. Ford issued a TSB stating that MERCON V supersedes(and surpasses) all MERCON requirements.

Can you mix mercon and type f transmission fluid together to change oil in my ford trans.?

No, it is not a good idea to mix Mercon and Type F transmission fluids. They have different friction modifiers and are for different purposes. If you have a 1998 or newer Ford vehicle, you should use Mercon V; earlier models require Mercon IV. You can convert a Mercon III/IV vehicle to Mercon V by having a complete flush done at a competent transmission shop.
