Mobil 1 ESP X4 0w40 Porsche C40

[wings&wheels]

VOA of the Mobil M1 X4 ESP 0w-40 Porsche C40 elixir I used for the recent oil change in the '24 911t. Considered doing a used oil analysis of the factory fill, but with only 3k, not sure it would be meaningful. I intend to do a used oil analysis of this assuming we get to put sufficient miles on the car. Interesting differences compared to the Mobil 1 Euro 0w40 in the recent VOA post.

You beat me to it my friend!
I sent off a VOA too. Tomorrow will be one week in USPS transit to Ohio so who knows when it'll arrive at this rate.

FS will have more additives than the ESP but you already knew that.
ESP should do better holding its viscosity than FS as shown in the LSjr video.

Original email pic??? Cannot post the .pdf... Glad to help, just not clear on the ask.

It looks like you took a picture of a printed paper of the VOA.

Can you take a snippet of the of the PDF from blackstone, like I did in my GT3 RS thread?

The quality is much better this way.

Thanks

This oil came out of my car at 13.5 cSt according to OAI. Blackstone needs to have a hard look at their viscosity setup.

This oil is using next gen cleaning agents per PDS.

This oil is using next gen cleaning agents per PDS.

Does anybody here know or speculate what that might be? AN’s?

Thank you for sharing! I added this to the VOA Database.

FTIR on esp x4 shows no ANs

Apologies, slipped my mind...

Per ROC:

Mo - 86
B -300
Mg - 16
Ca - 1,804
P - 872
Zn - 1043
Noack - 10.2%
Oxidation - 38.5%

FTIR for x3 & x4 are identical.

x4 has next gen cleaning additives.

I use Chrome’s translate feature so I can actually read it.

Lots of VOA’s there

I'm familiar with the Russian Oil Club, I just didn't realize they had an abbreviation. Thanks, hopefully I remember that the next time I see ROC. LOL
