Mobil's newer Euro X4 ESP 0w-40 VOA. I had them test AN & BN as well.

Thanks for sharing. Boron is a little lower than the other VOA. This oil only has 1,429ppm of Ca as a detergent, but they also claim it uses next gen cleaning agents. Some POE based on oxidation value. Better VM than FS 0w40 too. It's a really good oil, as also evident by the specs it meets.

I noticed the lower Boron as well & not sure how much they target but now seems to be >178 to <300. Obvious lab variance going on. Oxidation value speaks for itself & the LSjr video showed the previous x3 version did really well holding it's viscosity from shearing. I'll assume this isn't going to be any worse than that. It looks similar to FS except for no Magnesium in this x4 & better base oil. I know it took some time to get results but the post office & the lab drug their feet. I let them hear it too. "2 business day turnaround" they say..ha!

Thanks for the VOA. Looks good.

Thanks for the contribution!! Another great oil in the ESP family.

The VOA doesn't tell almost anything. I've used this oil before, and it's very good, and it even cleans carbon deposits and varnish. It has Mobil's latest generation of detergents and dispersants.

are there any applications where this is not an upgrade over the regular M1 FS euro?

I couldn't hear you @fantastic over the oil. Can you please repeat that?

Thanks for the VOA

Help me understand. It meets or exceeds ACEA C3 and API SP, it can be used in any vehicle calling for either of those, correct?

Correct

Cleaning carbon deposits and varnish is a very specific claim. Are you sure about that?

 

[himemsys]

Thank you, Justin. I've added it to the VOA Database.

Big thanks!

Thanks, Just took a peak at it. FYI it is ACEA C3/API SP as well.

@fantastic
Big thanks!

You both are very welcome!

I don't see a thing about cleaning varnish and carbon deposits. Preventing is one thing, cleaning both of those is another thing entirely.

So, No! No! No!
