If Using Mobil 1 ESP X2 0W20 in a Non Euro (Hybrid) gasoline vehicle whereby the manufacturer recommends a 0W20 motor oil. Is there ANY reason to run this motor oil, instead of the more common: A) Mobil 1 0W20EP B) Mobil 1 AFE 0W20 or C) Mobil 1 Hybrid 0W20 or D) Mobil 1 Truck & SUV 0W20?
I am only looking at oil change intervals at 10,000 miles at most - which all of these oils should be able to handle. A robust, over the counter sold, “overbuilt” motor oil that can hold its viscosity is important to me. I am thinking the AFE oil is the way to go, going forward.
I am turned off by the current Triple Action Formula Mobil 1 0W20EP because it is apparently no longer a majority PAO product, like the previous formulation (even though it is still “warranted” for 20,000 miles). The accountants had the final say over the oil formulators, in my opinion.
Vehicles involved are a ‘22 Ford Maverick Hybrid pickup and a ‘20 Ford Escape with the 3 cylinder, 1.5L engine. Full disclosure, I put over 205,000 miles on a 2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid, with the same 2.5L 4 cylinder engine as my current pickup, before trade in. Used Mobil 1 0W20EP (previous formulation). Engine was still going strong at trade in time.
