but if you go to Mobils site they specify their ATF220, which is Dextron11D,
which rings a bell, cos older Fords used a different ATF, from memory.
Although if the Xantia is a V6, it states it is filled for life, and to use manufactures part number Part No. PR 9736.22.

Which is all very interesting, because mobil ATF220 is one of the specified fluids for ZF bus transmissions- and was listed by the Regie as an alternative to the old renaultmatic versions 1 and 2. It is a low friction modifier oil.
The comment about a glycol base has me even more concerned- glycol is very good at dissolving certain types of friction plate.
I guess this means I'm up s***t creek with the 405.
