Mobil 1 0w30 thicker?

[GMorg]

My recollection was that Mobil 1 0W30 was about 10.2 cSt@100C. I noticed today that Mobil currently lists this oil at 11.0, more similar to Mobil 1 5W30 (11.3) and less like 10W30 (10.0) or the EP family of Xw30s (10.2-10.5). Anyone know if my memory was wrong or wether Mobil has updated their data?

Mobil 1 0w30 is listed as 10.3 cSt @ 100C according to this post from January 2005:

There have been a lot of posts here lately noting the increase in thickness of M1 X-W30 weight oils.

By the way, the specs are available at http://www.mobiloil.com/USA-English/MotorOil/Oils/Mobil_1.aspx

In late 2004 Mobil 1 0w30 had the viscosity listwd as 10.3. There is a new SM 0w30 available.

Yes, the new SM/GF-4 PDS shows it at 11.0 cSt.

IMO M1 is taking steps to cure its noise and oil consumption rep that thinner 30 got it.

Or, it may be to evenly space out the product line now that Xw20s are firmly entrenched.
