Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 (SP) VOA

[chris719]

looking more in to it, looks like the X4 have Porsche A40 and C40 approvals, and the X3 have Porsche C40, (if we look only at Porsche approvals)

The X4 PDS was updated recently to add A40. Somewhat odd because this contradicts the product positioning and advice of everyone else previously regarding A3/B4 (A40 base sec) and C3 (C40 base spec) interoperability. It makes sense from a practical perspective, since I am guessing one could make a C40 oil that would pass A40 tests, discounting the spec minimums.

It's the base oil that carries the strength of this Mobil-1 ESP.
Definitely should be on someone's purchase radar, who's looking for a SP in 12.5 viscosity range.
Nice find Buster.
