How similar are ESP 0w-20 and 0w-30?

Wow guys look at that. It is thin but has more Zinc and Phosphorus, even more than ESP 0W-30

You are saying you think "more Z and Phosphorous" define a better oil? If that were true, all any oil manufacturer would have to do is add those elements and BOOM...they'd be great. Some people have the same opinion about "Moly". You are looking at individual trees and ignoring the forest.

Oil quality doesn't work that way...it's MUCH more complicated. Listen to the experts, they aren't trying to steer you wrong.

Nary a one.

Maybe they did a slight change in the engines that were sent to the US

That’s been discussed ad nauseam here. Is that why you brought it up again?
