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

That is 2nd generation. 1st is the real deal.
Yeah. Not bad for IFS on both ends. If I had this I would remove both swaybars 😎

Sounds like a nice cocktail mixture.
YES. Indeed the exact cocktail I been using in the wife's car. Part 0w20 + part 0w30. That is until I empty my reserves.
I think once I am ready to restock I will swap over to 5w30 going forward.
I am not in the least bit concerned about MAYBE losing 1-2 mpg by going with something other than CAFE's 0w20 they have pushed on everyone the last several years. Really.... What is next? They gonna try to force us all into using some "baby oil?"
 
I would not say that the AFE offerings are bad it's just if you can get ESP offerings for the same price I will take those every time with enthusiasm. My application is the Subaru FA24F engine and I have seen enough UOA data on both AFE oils to know that this engine shreds through the viscosity of both AFE products whereas both ESP products will stay within these 0W20 range over a standard interval.
FA24 engines are made to shear oil. Ecoboost is nothing next to these beasts. I don't own a fa24f, but i can imagine that it should have even more revenge to take from oil
