reg mercon vs mercon"v"

would there be any benefit/drawback to using mercon "v" over the regular mercon in a M5OD 5 spd manual trans? (ranger chassis) ive got some mercon "v" but dont know if its wise to use it or not, it calls for mercon, i know but if mercon "v" would be better (or not) it would be good to know.

I have found Type F or FA actually works even better in manual trannys because of the friction modifer issue. Redline MTL might be a tad to thick for Ohio in winter.
