15W-50 MB1 is what I use in the Esprit, but it has the much hasher Turbocharged environment to deal with, and it's a 23 y.o. car - the technologies and metalugies were different then. And, 15W-50 is what the Manufacturer (Lotus) calls for...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
Indeed, I am sure the Esprit can use every bit of viscosity in that bad boy!
