Sorry I thought the first question was about Mazda M5 fluid. Don't know where the B-series trucks came from.

Castrol Import MV ATF is the easiest to find ATF that carries the Mazda Type 5 listing. Mobil 1 does not meet the specs last I checked. Sorry.

OP just so you know, I have seen tons of errors in AllData. I have reported it every-time I have seen it, but never seen them corrected.

I just got off the phone with Mobil 1 and I spoke to one of their engineers who cross referenced my truck in mention (B2500) and said that it is now Mercon V.

Thanks again for everyone's input.

Mobil's PDS doesn't say anything about MerconV:

M1 ATF did meet the spec, along with many others, but dropped the multi spec thing about three years ago. I was using M1 in my Fusion trans that spec'd FNR-5, so I called Mobil tech and they told me it was the same fluid after the spec change. To this date my trans performs very well with the M1 ATF.


It is impossible for M1 to meet all the specs they list. They call it suitable for use. It does not meet the Type 5 Spec.


Or any other ATF for that matter.
