Esp oil has a lower TBN then the normal line of oil and a lower ash number.

I laugh at the amsoil people high TBN and high ash. It's great oil no doubt but it will lead to more carbon on the valves. The so called wear additives and additives that make the oil last longer are the same components that stick to the valves.

Do some research and you will see.
This is an interesting statement. I have used Amsoil in the past, have heard good things about it. Looking at what I should be getting for my '22 LT1. Looks like Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP.
