M1 5w30 ESP has a higher HTHS and less VII to shear down.
Wonder why the engineers didn't consider this one?? Its a EURO oil so maybe the SAPS are too low for USA fuel??

Interesting that the M1 5w-30 ESP isnt a 40. My guess is the HTHS came up just shy; the kinematic viscosity is 40-weight worthy.
The VI and sulfated ash are low. This, along with the HTHS and ZDDP not being that great is probably why.
Anyway, interesting discussion here.
