The Motorcraft Mercon LV has a viscosity index (@100C) of 6.0
Valvoline MaxLive has 5.9
AMSOIL OTL has 5.8
Red Line D6 has 6.3
BTW, Mobil 1 Synthetic has 7.25. IMO that's too high for an LV fluid.
Mobil 1 Synthetic LV ATF HP has 5.7, but is listed only for GM. Probably not a big deal, but... IDK.
I think you meant to say:

Valvoline MaxLive has 5.9
AMSOIL OTL has 5.8
Red Line D6 has 6.3
Viscosity and Viscosity Index are two different measures.
