Can someone confirm this is correct to use?

It's hard to say what the correct fluid for 1965 is when your substitute did not exist in 1965.

If it used Type A, then a Dexron synthetic substitute could be used.

If it is Type F (and I believe it is), then I do not believe there is a synthetic substitute available.

Final Answer: No. It is not correct.

A Google search will show that Type F synthetic is available. Is it needed for our Lincolns?
