No, modern Fords use Mercon V, which is not the same as Dexron. Older models use plain Mercon which is usually dual-specced with Dexron III. Most generic fluids you buy are both Dexron/Mercon compatible, but are not equal to Mercon V unless it specifically says so. Dexron II is an obsolete fluid that is not used in any vehicle in recent decades, I don't know where you'd even get that.

Can you substitute mercon v for dexron VI?
MERCON V is a transmission fluid for Fords and DEXRON-VI is a fluid made for GMs. Mercon and Dexron are NOT, nor have they ever been, the same thing. People got the idea that they were because traditional ATF meets the specs of both. It doesn't mean that they have the same specs. Mercon V and Dexron VI are non-interchangeable. Always read the label of any ATF you plan to use. GM, Ford and Chrysler all use different fluids so make sure that what you choose is correct!
