Out Of Control!!
Great news if you drive a diesel car with the regenerateable exhaust filter otherwise a waste of money!! The oil is only speced for that type of diesel vehicle!!

It should also help with less cat build up.
At this price it is a good buy.

Disagree...this oil has worked great in our '05 cdi too. Used to run 0w40 at 7500 intervals, now 5w40 ESP at 10k. Can't really explain why, but mileage jumped noticeably with the ESP oil.
Only thing is, this oil is not suited to gasoline cars in the USA. The higher sulfur & ethanol quantities in our gas are not suited to a low-ash, low-TBN oil.
FYI, dealers sell the stuff at around $6/qt in bulk. Some may be kind enough to sell it to you at that price if your bring jugs. Also, can usually get the ESP stuff for $5/qt at Pep Boys on black Friday every year.
