OEM Approvals
The new ESP technology has received OEM approvals from some of the world's leading car manufacturers such as Mercedes Benz (MB), BMW and Volkswagen (VW) Group.
Mercedes Benz has approved Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 to MB 229.31 specification and can be used for all current passenger car diesel engines. The product is backwards compatible, in line with service fill recommendations, offering dealers and motorists alike a streamlined choice of engine lubricant.
BMW approved Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 according to their newest LL-04 specification. This specification covers the former LL-98 and LL-01 specs and Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 is therefore suitable for today's gasoline and diesel engine including DPF technology and is also backwards compatible, in line with service fill recommendations, offering dealers and motorists alike a streamlined choice of engine lubricant.
And most recently ExxonMobil announced the VW Group has approved its new Mobil 1 ESP formula 5 W-30 engine oil for VW 504.00 and 507.00 specifications.
ExxonMobil has its own in-house Research & Development division, which conducts product development and testing. Since 2002, its research engineers have worked closely with a number of car manufacturers on developing the ESP technology.
