(see the last 2 sentences)

D4 ATF - synthetic Dexron III and Mercon fluid meeting the requirements of
most transmission manufacturers, while satisfying GL-4 gear oil
requirements. Superior stability allows high-temperature operation without
varnishing valves and clutches. Also provides tremendously improved shifting
in cold weather. The best low-temperature shiftability for manual
transmissions and transaxles which require ATFs.
