Dang, I forgot to look! I just changed mine last weekend, oops! If I go to Walmart again this weekend for groceries, I'll have to cruise over to the oil section and check if I remember.
 
Oh wow I didn't know M1 was A5/B5 again! Glad to hear it is, though!

Is it? It shows A1-B1.
 
PimTac: this shows us that it is indeed A1 B1

Took pic last night at wal mart and it's new silver cap m1 0w30

I was referring to the rest of the M1 lineup which A5/B5 now. Here is the 5w30 PDS for example.

Sorry for the confusion!

From acea:
"ACEA A1/B1 Category is removed with the ACEA 2016 Oil Sequences."
 
Jugs should start at least showing SN-Plus soon I would think, as it's on the AFE 0W-30 PDS.

And I think legally A1/B1 can't be displayed after a particular date?

Wait...
 
Didn't mean to scare anyone.
I have oil that says a1/b1. I think it's same as a5/b5. I never paid attention till I joined bitog.
My guess is someone wrote too many similar specs and/or paragraphs and it was edited / removed

First time I read those spec i got confused ...
Bottom line is (for me at least):
A5/B5 is resource conserving with lower hths
a3/b3-b4 are higher hths
The rest is noise (I mentioned at least for me)

This is rubbish.
 
I'd be very surprised if existing A1/B1 oils weren't reformulated to meet either A5/B5 (or its low SAPS brother C2) very soon - it'd be embarrassing for any company to be trying to sell product in Europe without a current ACEA specification.
 
@1JZ_E46,
@53'Stude,

You guys are more of a bitog old-timer than I am and should know better before "buying" or not buying (ie rubbish) something ...

btw, I mean that mainly regarding a1/b1 category being removed (my original post).
My other post was just summary of a5/b5 vs a3/b3-4 as it relates to me.
