M1 POA irresitible ?

[mckenzie333]

Is the PAO content in Mobil1 0w40 so significant that it makes this oil the best choice (say for cars needing 229.5 pr LL-01) ?

 

[PWMDMD]

No

 

[Rand]

POA? 0%

PAO 10-20%

so no.

M1 0w40 is a fully formulated motor oil with a large amount of approvals.

M1 0w40 is unique/was unique in that it contained a decent % of V base oil, presumably POE. Most of the Mobil 1 oils us ANs.

Mobil 1 FS 0W-40, 5W-40, and 5W-50 are still excellent oils. They still use excellent cleaning esters, and probably the 5W-X oils have even more of those. I'm probably going to go back to M1 FS 5W-40 in Santa Fe when I run out of Red Line. It keeps the engine very clean. Base oil choice has more to do with cold flow properties / pumpability than with the lubricity of the oil. This series of motor oils are still relatively cheap for how good they are.

How do you use that in a sentence? Thats some nice POA?

Joking aside odd first post from new member. But hey we were all new sometime.. well except the retreads.

Yeah, I wanted to throw a bit of humor in the mix. But @mckenzie333 shouldn't be worried about Mobil 1 FS 0W-40. It's good stuff and works well. If he lives in a temperate climate, 5W-40 is an even better choice. I used them both with good results.

How do these Mobil 1 FS oils compare to the Mobil 1 ESP oils? Are they different in anyway?

Esp is lower SAPS

Nope, the FS line is old-school full SAPS. @BMW Dom is spot-on.

Different adpack to meet requirements for protecting emissions system. Same performance requirements.

Nop, but it has so strong formulation and wear performance after used like previous Visom and PAO versions. So it's a good 0w40.
