Quoted from freightliner service manual
Use only the approved Mobiltrans SHC® DC fluid.
Do not mix fluid types. Adding SHC 50 RN 2952
E-5 fluid (used in Eaton and Meritor transmissions)
could damage the radial seals.





Is this stuff gold, and why is it so hard to find, even bob the oil guy has no real answer to it, seems it's only available at a high cost through freightliner.................Imagine that!
