Mobil 1 ESP 0w-30 VOA

[buster]

This is recent per ROC (04/10/2025). It is not a counterfeit. The sample is from France. It looks very impressive. It appears this grade has not changed much at all since 2020, for some odd reason. I would have expected it to look like M1 5w30 ESP, which is also great despite the weak look add pack on paper. Some on the ROC are saying the new M1 5w30 ESP is performing better than the oil FWIW. Not sure how they're determining that but it's been stated.

304 ppm of Born
77 ppm of Moly
Noack - 8.4% (excellent for a 0w30)

1,850 ppm of Ca
8 ppm mg

Something is off - boron is 304ppm and not 66ppm

 

[fantastic]

Has not changed any? The more up to date VOA the better to spot any changes though.

Taken from a 5QT jug that was shaken (not stirred) with a date code of 11022G15A 6289 as noted on the jug. Given the initial oxidation, I am glad I did a VOA as a baseline (I always do anyway). I am now running this in my Wrangler (replacing VEP 5W-30).

Enjoy!

Looks like could be a copy mistake, missing molly @77 then Boron at 304 .. magnesium at 8ppm

Thanks, looks to be about the same. We now have Noack too. 8.4%.

Great point!

Still looks good! Thanks

I’m old school and still like this ester formula.
