The 4F27E is an electronically controlled 4-speed automatic transaxle transmission developed by Mazda and Ford.
It now has a four-element torque converter that includes a torque converter clutch and geartrain with two planetary gearsets, a transfer-shaft gear final drive, and a larger differential.
This fluid is made by Idemitsu Kosan (according to the label on the back of the Mazda bottle).
Later Ford authorized back servicing transmissions from 2000 to 2007 with Mercon LV.
Differences between Ford Mercon ATF and Mazda type M5 ATF: Consequently, carefully refer to the service manual for correct transmission maintenance as Ford and Mazda made their own calibration modification on the transmission so mixing different oils or servicing transmission with the wrong fluid will result in premature wear and transmission damage.
