I have a suspicion that Ford's "Transfer Case Fluid" may be the old Mercon, but that's just a guess. Maybe they rebottled their old Mercon stock and remarketed it.
Ford doesn't say why not to use Mercon V in t-cases. I can't see what would make a t-case self destruct with Mercon V in it, as there aren't any synchronizers, friction clutches or similar things like you'd find in an auto tranny, just gears, bearings, and a chain. 
I just put the question to Exxon Mobil thru their Mobil 1 website. We'll see what they say.

Not a peep from Exxon Mobil yet. I'll be sure and post their response when and if it arrives.

Sorry to drag up an old post, the quick reference chart you linked shows my 02 F350 taking 75/90 synthetic rear axle lube, and my owners manual says it takes 75/90 premium 4 wheel drive lube. I just changed it with 80/90 rear axle lube, did I mess up?

Yes, I see the chart says that. I am confused as to why the chart says synthetic but my owners manual says "Premium". They contradict each other.

Speaking of wrong fluids for diffs, I was wondering about some of mine. For the sake of simplicity ive been changing all of my diffs with synthetic 75w140. thats 1 D50, a sterling, and a ford 8.8 in a car. The 8.8 gets the snot beat out of it and also havent added any friction modifier (a little chatter, but I prefer a firmer grab of the clutches) and havent had any problems at all in any of my axles.
Do any of you guys foresee any problems or should I take this post to pirate to get flamed there?

I just changed my tranny and t-case and used Mobil 1 Syn ATF (again). I'm at 215k miles, and run all winter with the hubs locked in, so my t-case gets abused a bit, turning all winter long whether in 4x4 or not, and it hasn't grenaded on me yet. I'm personally not worried about using a "non-approved" fluid.
But you could go by Ford's recommendation. They seem to change fluid specs as often as we change our underwear.
