I like the Motul 8100X-Clean, 5W40, since I can also get it for a very low price through personal connections...
I think (key word) that if you go by the letter of the service manual, and the stated use case of the ESP oil, the advantage of using the ESP oil is that you can leave it in for track work and street, eliminating the service manual's stated requirement to change oil for the track and again back to street.

Now, I'm not an oil expert by any stretch of the imagination, and gear heads might scoff at the manual's suggestion and be totally justified in doing it.
