Im assuming your scorp is auto??? if so then ford recommend dex3. I had sum work done on my auto box and that is what was used to refill mine. Hope this helps.

Cheers Nick ;)

:)Hi,
Would advise changing the Pancake filter as well. Thats behind the G/box bottom plate. Messy but worth it . I did my 12 valve last summer. I Can't remember the part number, but the cost was about £15 from Fords.
Also the design has changed, and its' plastic now instead of the origional metal. Also while the plate was off I cleaned it off & checked the magnet on it for metal fragments, ( indicative of bearing break up/ cog teeth fretting ).
Mick.
