Bought a bunch of it (0-40?) for my Audi and would be great if I could use it in the Hemi that I just bought. Could use a best of oil filter recommendation too.
Use M1 ESP X4 in 2019 Ram Hemi?

Which HEMI?
From what I see Ram says 5w-20. I would use your 0w-40 if it was me. I would use a Baldwin oil filter. https://ph.baldwinfilters.com/baldwin/en/product/baldwin-spin-on-lube-filters/b160 If you feel the desire to use a different brand of filter, maybe go with a Mobil 1 oil filter.
In before someone calls Baldwin a “jobber filter”. 
They make a quality filter to OEM specs. They are not in the "efficiency" race unless that is what the OEM calls for. Their build quality is just as good if not better than most higher dollar more popular filters. Their cans are made like Sherman tanks.In before someone calls Baldwin a “jobber filter”.

Never saw it written like that before.....
Not sure what the ESP X4 has or does not have that would make it good or bad. It definitely was not formulated for my Hemi, great oil though.
It's right there on their filter page of each filter they make. Obviously they aren't in the micron race, they match the OEM filter specs for efficiency and flow. I figure that is good enough for the girls I date, plus they are built better than most $15.00 popular filters and don't use that dumb leaf spring/bypass valve design. Oh, and they are owned by and manufactured by the USA, and shipped worldwide.
It has the Euro specs, which generally gives you a higher HTHS value. HTHS translates to film strength. If you get one of these genuine oil geeks we have on here to respond, they can probably tell you some differences. Actually the Mobil 1 ESP 0w-40 is more oil than you need for your Hemi, it might be good for it, but it won't hurt it, in my opinion. Like I said, Chrysler recommends 0w-20 weight. If you are worried about fuel milage, you may notice a slight drop, but that's doubtful.

Sure, you can use it, the SRT's and the HD 6.4's spec 0W-40.
I use the OG FRAM Ultra as a filter (I stocked up). The larger FL-820S (SRT-sized) filter fits on my DT, but it's a bit of a chore to get it in there, FWIW. Fleetguard makes a synthetic media filter that fits as well.
