I believe Amsoil meets Mercon V specs. I could be wrong because i havent seen a bottle. If you do a search in here you might find your answer.

AMSOIL meets the Mercon V spec. Here's a link to
AMSOIL's ATF product data.

Shifting was smoother after Amsoil
After converting my 5 speed manual, the shifting was much smoother. I can't help but think that is lubricating better.
