As for the Mercon LV, do you think it is OK to use a Mannol or Febi substitute? It seems I'd have to import the original Ford one from the US which is a bit pricey. The following video shows the ATF change procedure which seems easy enough

Just need an extra long size 10 hex key and a long neck funnel.
Both 1.6 Ecoboost and 2.5 NA Connects have 6F35. You can use any substitute as long as it meets Mercon LV/Dexron VI specification. Motorcraft fluid wasn't more expensive than any of the brand name alternatives IIRC.
The import part is weird as this box is widely used in all modern Fords, including Mondeo, S-Max, etc. Should be available off the shelf in any well equipped shop.
