It depends on a number of things, such as the vehicle/engine in question, vehicle condition (does it leak or burn oil?), intended OCI, etc.

Information on that particular vehicle is on the other thread.

If your not going to run the M1 0w-40, which had the most recommendations, then you want the 5w-30 ESP. You need more HTHS than just about any OTS Xw-30.
That's also why Redline kept coming up in your other thread. With your mods, DI, and timing chain HTHS of ~3.0 like most 5w-30's is asking for trouble down the line. Maybe Ultra could swing it, but I'd run the 10w-30 for a little better protection.

What does nths mean and what does esp mean?
Castrol edge 5w40
HTHS is high temperature high shear. ESP is Mobil lingo for certain oils. Mobil 1 ESP 5w-30 is a Euro type oil, whereas Mobil Delvac 1 ESP 5w-40 is a modern CJ-4 lube. ESP just stands for emissions system protection and means a little bit different for each line.
^ And Mobil1 5W-30 ESP is a Euro oil and has a higher HTHS than the regular Mobil1 5W-30.
The number on the bottle (the grade) only gives you a small picture.

Take Red Line 5W-20, for example. The HTHS is on par with many xW-30's and the kinematic viscosity at 100C is at the upper end of the 20 grade range. The operational viscosity/pressure could very well match (or possibly beat) many off the shelf 5W-30's.
This is why many performance minded folks concentrate on HTHS over the number on the bottle or the brand.

That tells me I spend too much time here when I state that an oil is a Euro oil and I automatically assume everyone on the planet knows that means it has a higher HTHS.
