levelers - which fluid
says I can use mercon v or dexron III .... but when I search trying to find a difference to figure out which one to use I find cautions saying to not mix them. I just want to add some as it is read...

I'm not a mechanic but I suspect that the mixing trans fluid is really just an issue when used in transmissions. In transmissions there are tons of different paths for the fluid to go through and the pressure by the fluid is what engages different gears (plates) - different consistencies would probably have very wonky results. I believe hydraulic jacks are a much, much simpler design where the pressure simply extracts / retracts one cylinder (for each leg but since each is controlled semi independently, there's no real consequence).
