Euro < Extended performance

Extended performance is few dollars more, but I don’t have to worry about UOA.
More dollars doesn't equal to 'upgrade'. Any PCMO is 'ok'
for extended intervals (only) if the manufacturer allows for
or a UOA supports it.

Are there 2 Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 oils? I ask because I'm research oil for my car. I found that the local Advance Auto has 2 Mobil 1ESP 5W-30 oils:

and
https://shop.advanceautoparts.com/p...3469/10607953-P?searchTerm=Mobil+1+ESP+5W-30!
(Ignore the "down for maintenance" logo)
The Mobil1 website shows just 1 of these products. What's the diff?

There is no Euro Extended Performance.
That oil doesn’t exist.
Mobil1 Extended Performance and Mobil1 ESP are two different products!
There's just one. Different style bottle for different markets though.
Btw, Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 is what I'd call an 'upgrade' to Mobil 1 ESP 0W-30.
Marginally thicker but lower Noack losses, probably more suitable to turbo
DI engines with regard to IVD issues.

0W30: 9% Noack
5W30: 7.1% Noack.
Both excellent values for their respective grades. But yes, unless 0W is absolutely necessary (common starts below -20) 5W30 is obviously bit better option.

I saw that too and wondered. Two different part numbers and two different prices. Maybe the price jump is so large that AAP is separating old and new stock rather than raise the old stock prices?
They do now. You can find them at Autozone for $32.99.
It's not 5qt jugs, but at least Autozone will let you get individual quarts as part of the oil change bundle, although the only filter choice is STP Extended Life oil filters which seem to be of decent build quality but some people don't like that they make them in Vietnam and China not in the US.
In 5W-30?
Mine too. AutoZone Rewards saved me $5 a jug as well.
Yeah, it's just a high-quality thing. I've noticed a difference in the engine response on a cold engine with using the 0w-30 over the 5w-30, I get better cold engine MPG and it feels a lot more free-revving (in a 1.6TDiCR engine)
Yeah the four Autozone store near me all have 5qt 0w30 and 5w-30 ESP. I saw the 0w30 was nearly sold out so grabbed the last two and got a bottle of the 5w-30 also
Good value there in the US. Mobil oils are priced very high here in the UK / Ireland. 5 litres ESP 5W30 (or 0W30) costs ~£50 ($68) and is rarely discounted.

Well, in the US Mobil 1 ESP is on the expensive side relative to Castrol, Valvolene, and Pennzoil with the same approvals.
