Mobil esp 0w30 v Pup 5w30

[K24Z7&M20AFXS]

I use Pup in my 300k miles Civic Si since the last 100k. Runs great.. doesn't burn oil at all..

Doubtful. It doesn’t have the same approvals. Technically it’s still oil but if you ran it in a Mercedes that calls for one of the approvals in ESP it wouldn’t work out too well in the long run.

While probably so, I would think supertech 5w30 would be just fine to run a thousand miles one way at highway speeds. If it can’t hold up to that they should pull it off the shelves

Any 5W30 off the shelf at Walmart should be able to handle that

Edit: between those two I would choose ESP

Mobil 1 ESP would be mine choice

1,000 mostly highway miles in June in a Honda CRV and we still have people on this board that don’t think Supertech synthetic would be just fine?

Let’s get another CRV and tear them both down and mic everything out. Put them back together. One car gets Supertech, the other gets Pennzoil UP and, why not, get a third CRV. That one gets Mobil. Head out for the 1,000 mile trip in each car. When you get back, tear them all down and measure them up.

Seriously doubt any difference.

In a CRV under these circumstances yes I agree it would be fine and just as good as the others in this low stress situation. I should clarify that I meant that Supertech isn’t going to do the same job as ESP under all circumstances because ESP has way more approvals. I clearly would not recommend Supertech in a vehicle that requires one of the approvals that ESP carries.

Would lean towards the ESP 0W-30 between the two choices.

 

[ChemLabNL]

Mobil ESP 0w30 is MB229.52 so go with that.

 

[Hirev]

Typically I do use mobil but got pup on sale and currently this is all I have..

I would just use what you have. Hard to believe PUP would turn your engine to Jell-o.

Understood and I agree.

Plain old M1 5-30 will perform as well as any oil there is.

M1 0W-30 ESP is what I use and recommend between the two.

Here are a two VOAs (2022 version vs. 2023):

Do you have a copy of it?

It was in a LSJR video. I’ll have to find it and get a screen shot.

Two different products, one mid tier, one upper tier.
You have an engine that is a well known fuel diluter and google reveals many unnatural deaths.
Sell it, or Supertech.

Um,sure okay...

 

[earthbound]

Ftw I'll continue with esp 0w30. If it wasn't a tgdi (and the Honda 1.5 at that) I'd use pup and not worry.

Must be that one.
