Right, I’ve physically been into O’Reillys now and can confirm I can get Mobil 1 ESP 0w30 ACEA c2. My final question is this: Mobil 1 ESP does not have the manufacturer approval of FCA 955535-DS1. Do I need to be concerned? Thank you to everyone who has chimed in on this for me.

Thank you all for the info. Slight delay in replying as I had a minor accident yesterday when I reversed into a hidden branch and spent the morning at the body shop having a temporary repair carried out. Any thoughts on the Mobil 1 ESP? Acceptable?

Thank you for the reply. Mobil 1 ESP is something I can get hold of. It appears to be recommended where an ACEA C2 is required. Suggests it’s suitable for DPF equipped vehicles. I’ve noticed Fiat refer to UREA suitable oils but their recommended oil (WR Forward) supposedly isn’t for UREA...

Hi again everyone. A few weeks later now and I have been unable to locate any Pennzoil Platinum 0w30. Walmart is out of stock, NAPA, AutoZone and O Reillys don’t stock it either. Anything mail order is really awkward right now. Does anyone have another source where I can walk into a store and...

The filter says M22 on it so I’m guessing that’s the thread type. Diameter is ~76mm Length is ~90mm The green stuff looks like on overly liberal application of thread lock.

Incredible reply. Thank you. The short oil change this time was purely to start from scratch for this trip. No other reason. How did you manage to do an oil filter cross reference??? I actually have the very latest model with a spin on canister type filter. This one...

Temporary Import to Canada initially and then into the USA. It’s fairly common for Europeans on holiday/vacation. I’ve little to no interest in warranties. Fiat in the UK would fight you tooth and nail for a bulb let alone engine failure. Life is too short. I came on a fresh oil change (van had...

Thank you for all the replies. I’m new to being fussy about oils, in all my years working on vehicles I have never once gone any further than looking at the grade. How important is the manufacturer approvals part of the spec? The van is a UK registered euro 6/7 vehicle currently on holiday in...

I am trying to search out an equivalent oil to Selenia WR FORWARD 0w30 that I can obtain in the USA. It’s a 2025 Fiat Ducato 2.2 diesel. It’s a DPF/Adblue/DEF equipped engine. The specs are: 0w-30 ACEA C2 Approvals: FCA 955535-DS1 Is anybody able to suggest anything? Any help gratefully received.
