Mobil 1 ESP 5w30?

[LeakySeals]

I spotted a green label Mobil 1 ESP 5w30. Also a 0W40 ESP. Are they new or am I getting senile?

Mobil 1 5W30 silver label
Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 Gold Label
Mobil 1 5W30 Ann Green Label
And now..
Mobil 1 ESP 5w30? green label

And also a 0w 40 ESP..

Ugh. Not sure which one to use use anymore.

They've been around, I have bottles of ESP 0w30 green label dated from 2014.

 

[LeakySeals]

I've seen 0W20 and 0W30 ESP. But never a 5W30 or a 0W40 ESP.

Are you talking about Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 ACEA C3 with European approvals?
0W40 ESP is new on North American market targeted at new Corvette users.

Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 meets mostly European specifications and has a relatively high HTHS viscosity around 3.5 cP. Unlike most Mobil 1 oils, it has some ester base oil in it. There is an older and newer version and both are still being sold. The newer one has 0.8% sulfated ash (more metallic additives) than the older one which has 0.6% sulfated ash. Both meet same or nearly the same specifications.

The Mobil 1 ESP oils are mainly European spec oils. I did the first oil change in my Tiguan using the 5W30 ESP.

You could just use

Instead of the faux confusion.

Except that site recommends 0w-20 for my new VW 1.8T

Doesn't come up for my 06 Escalade. Just the 0w30 ESP.

Like this ...

The Advanced fuel economy 0w20/30 was always green too ...

Yup. That's what had me confused.

The silver 0w40 jug says Euro. But now there's also a green 0w40 ESP jug

It is Dexos 2 oil. Nothing special for 0W40 oil. Actually very disappointing HTHS of 3.53cp.

 

[tahoe_hybrid]

ESP is Dexos2 gen1

not to be confused with Dexos1gen2 lol

confusing huh?

I don't think there's a Gen designation at all for Dexos2.

 

[4wd]

Seems this is so

 

[Jimmy_Russells]

dexos 1 gen 2 should have been called dexos 1.2. Would have avoided a lot of confusion.

Mobil 1 Extended Performance 5w30 and normal Mobil 1 5w30 both have an HTHS of (I believe) 3.0.

Mobil 1 ESP 5w30 is a diesel oil and is unsurprisingly, much more robust, with an HTHS of 3.5.
