FORD MERCON XL-12

Specification FORD MERCON XL-12 is the official Ford standard for transmission oils, providing high oxidation resistance, wear protection, and viscosity stability over a wide temperature range. It is designed for automatic and some manual gearboxes installed in passenger, commercial and truck Ford models with gasoline and diesel engines up to 6.7 L, including 6‑, 8‑ and 10‑speed automatic transmissions. MERCON XL-12 guarantees compatibility with electronic shift‑control systems and, when required, with diesel particulate filter (DPF) systems, without requiring special SAPS additives. When selecting a lubricant that meets this approval, automotive service technicians obtain protection against overheating and deposits, extending transmission service life and preserving warranty conditions. XENUM products marked as “FORD MERCON XL-12” are suitable as replacements for older MERCON and MERCON LV approvals, providing backward compatibility without risk of performance loss.
