Couple months ago I had been very interested in Mobil1 Hi milage in 10w-30, it being one of the few 30 weight oils that are ACEA A3 rated (and both my vehicles are clearly high milage)
But when I looked at the shelf at walmart and checked the back of the M1 10w-30 Hi Mi jugs low and behold the ACEA A3 had disappeared replaced by GF6.
I wont belabor what GF6 means, plenty of posts cover this already.
So I went with Mobil1 0w-40 which while ACEA A3 (=good) also sadly meets BMW LL which I believe is too much mineral based TBN fortifiers which at my OCIs I will never need and which are sure to displace something else in the formulation.
So I wonder if any "old" M1 in 10w-30 Hi Milage can still be bought anywhere?
Otherwise I have a slightly older bottle of Castrol Edge here in 0w-40 and it meets ACEA A3 but not BMW LL , so maybe I will go with that next time.
