SP rated Mobil 1 0W-40 Euro spotted

[MrCoyote]

Had to go to Walmart to get a few things. Checked the oil aisle and found this.

MB 229.5 - works for me!

 

[SR5]

Good to see API SP, ACEA A3/B4, MB 229.5, BMW LL01 and Porsche A40.
That is a well made and well tested oil.

It’s time to change our oil to this folks it’s time

It’s time to change our oil to this folks it’s time

Yay!!!
It will be my "go to" oil for everything.
Hell I might even take a bath in it.

 

[Big_B]

Of course the -42 pour point has me concerned

 

[Mr.GTRSpecV]

Of course the -42 pour point has me concerned

How come? Is it because it means less PAO?

Or are you afraid of the winter months when in reality, the pour point is not the metric to go by.

I guess I can give it another try. Car was burning the last formulation.

PS There are at least 4 threads about this oil now...

Why? If it wasn't working out for you then there are other choices for oils with similar approvals.

It actually has more pao than the previous formula, based on the MSDS atleast

I was kidding. Hence the laughing face.

Indeed

That's new isn't it? Didn't Mobil 1 0w40 lose LL01 certification a while back?

 

[dlundblad]

When her ‘Yoda is out of warranty, it’ll get just this.

API SP means DI (Ecoboost) friendly too right?

All the 0W-40's did, but now some are getting it back, so I'm wondering if BMW changed the parameters again?

Yes, good to see it back again for the Mobil 1.

I think Castrol Edge 5W30 A3/B4, kept both MB 229.5 and BMW LL01, but being high ZDDP in a 30 grade, it can only be API SL even if it can pass all SN or SP quality test. BTW Castrol did state it passes all SN test (but not Phos limit), no statement about SP, but given ZDDP is a powerful LSPI quencher I personally wouldn't be surprised if it did.

Meets or Exceeds does not equal having approvals.

API shows Mobil 1 Full Synthetic 0w40 has the license for SN, not SN-Plus nor SP.

It does in the case of the API approvals (and ACEA and a few others). Also, Mobil can self-approve for the API stuff, as can most of the majors.

It looks like Mobil 1 Formula 0W-40 and Mobil 1 FS 0W40 might be the same oil
Formula 0W-40:

FS 0W-40:

You running that in the Mustang? If so, how's it do and sound?
