Mobil 1 green cap 0-W30

[ChromiumSteel]

Went to wall of China mart to get a quart of oil for my kids car. There was this new M-1 0-W30 in a bright green capped bottle. I noticed that it didn't say anything about Acura/Honda like the regular M-1. Anybody know anything about this stuff? I don't see it on their website.

I saw that today, and the 5W20 is now in that colored cap and label

 

[OilGuy]

I think you meant 0W-20

 

[02zx9r]

possibly, i will double check sometime. but pretty sure was 5W20

 

[ChromiumSteel]

No it was 0-W30, I compared it to others for several minutes. Then didn't buy it! I wanted to ask here.

 

[OilGuy]

They have both a 0W-20 and a 0W-30, not a 5W-20.

The 0w20 and 0w30 are the new AFE (fuel efficient) oils.

You can buy the 0w30 now in 5qt jugs which is great. The new 0w20 AFE I'm using now. Both are very good oils.

No worries

Mobil's going green, I guess. I like how they say "Exceeds 5w30 and 10w30 warranty requirements"

Very well.

I've used it for the past year; it's performance is similar to Mobil 1 5W-20 but with increased HT/HS rating and OTT OEM specification compliance.

Does it really give any mpg advantage vs something like PP 5w30?

Timely marketing by Mobil I suspect. They've established both their 0W20/30 oils as low friction fuel efficient oils ... whatever "low friction" is. And in the 0W30's case, Mobil cites 2% improved gas mileage while offering 100C viscosity in the same range as most 5W30 oils. With $3-4/gal gas...smart move.

I remeber several years ago that TooSlick claimed mileage improvements of 2% on average when he switched vehicles over to synthetic oils.
