Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 now meets SQ engine test requirements

[mitsuman47]

I would assume it met the engine test requirements before SQ was even a thing. Pleased to see that it still doesn’t have the API donut.

Looks like the “prior version” had 229.31, and this one does not. But, I believe 229.31 is superseded by 229.51. So, it doesn’t matter anyway.

If I had to guess, it’s the same exact stuff with a pretty new label.

I didn’t see another thread about this. So, sorry if this is a repost.

Not a bad price either. I'll stick with it when my stash dries up.

Thanks, It does look like that is the case.

This new label has quite a bit more of a green hue to it on the front label.

229.51 & .52 are low SAPS, that's all. Won't hurt a thing.

Nice find! Good to see the SQ engine test requirements on the bottle.

Does SQ rating have anything Dexos 1 G3 doesn't? Asking for a GM 1.5T engine.

I imagine if it's the same formulation just with an updated label.

I wonder what the differences are in the testing requirements between SP and SQ? Are there any?

with the disclaimer that if oil #1 is a "3" and oil #2 is a 4, that does not mean that oil #2 is 25% better.

that chart isn't constructed that way

Castrol EDGE Extended Performance is the oil that catches my eye.

Mobil 1 web site is still not updated.

Considering it doesn’t have BMW LL04, I would say same stuff as before.

They have ESP 5W30. 99% of people won’t care.

Hopefully same formula, I just settled on it this year. That being said, anything with equivalent specs should do, but ESP is the only one I find regularly available at one of my local Walmarts. The sopus C3 oils are never there, no Pennzoil or quaker state. Several jugs of esp.

Not sure what value the Lubrizol Relative Performance Comparison Tool has when you can't directly compare values between specs.

Because the value of the 0-10 scale apparently changes for the different specs in your example the 3 could actually be better than the 4.

Yup. My go-to from day one on the Merc GLC300. Low miles, short trips. All good so far.

Idk. I mean internet provides information, but makes people go crazy over irrelevant stuff too.
