: Recommended for use where the following fluids are specified:

: Ford MERCON
: GM DEXRON III, DEXRON III-G
: GM DEXRON, DEXRON II, DEXRON IIE
: Ford M2C138-CJ
: Ford M2C166-H
: Allison C-4

: Valvoline also recommends for use in Chrysler vehicles (including ATF+3
and
: ATF+4T).

  
   The same fluid is recommended to replace all those different
types? How is that possible? Traditionally, the Ford/GM/Chrysler
blends have been fairly incompatible - it doesn't seem likely that
one fluid would be able to replace all of those? Seems like there
would be some compromises being made somewhere...
