Its five. For some reason they like to use Roman numerals.
There is also a Mercon III. I doubt it is pronounced "iiii"

Pronounciation
I am taking my '97 bird to get the tranny fluid changed so i don't feel like i am driving on rumble strips everytime i get to 40mph. Do i ask for mercon veee or mercon 5. I didn't konw if the V was pronounced as a letter of number. I just dind't want to look like a complete fool. thanks

:uppoint: Smart A$$,
I once heard a story about a chick that walked into a dealership and asked for a Ford Fiso. When the sales man looked at her funny and said Ford didn't carry a Fiso. She said "Yes you do!" and pointed to the long row of F-150's parked on the lot.

Ironically, the title of the thread should be pronunciation. :tongue:

True Story

Some years ago I read in in a marketing text book that CHEVROLET found they could not sell Nova's to hispanics.
Their High Priced research revealed that the car's name consisted of two spanish words NO VA, which translate "no go".

ironically, most of the Novas and Chevy IIs I know (including mine) dont run.
The translation is true, but there was no problem selling the car:Blackexperience said:Some years ago I read in in a marketing text book that CHEVROLET found they could not sell Nova's to hispanics.

Without disputing the snopes article, I lived in brooklyn NY 79 -91 and heard more than once, one hispanic tease another about his "No Va".ptschett said:The translation is true, but there was no problem selling the car:

And how many of us have said "Yu go, it doesn't" or "Fix Or Repair Daily" it still doesn't change the fact that the cars sold very well, not "couldn't sell to hispanics".
its "first on race day", get it right!
