Description

Mobil 1 ESP Formula P 5W-30 is a synthetic oil in the Mobil 1 range aimed at Stellantis engines. Its reduced ash, sulphur and phosphorus content protects the particulate filter and the catalyst.

It carries official Stellantis FPW9.55535/03 approval (outside Europe the same specification is numbered FPW9.55535/05), together with GM dexos2, MB 229.31, MB 229.51 and MB 229.52. It is rated ACEA C2 and C3 and API SN, SM, SL, SJ and CF.

Typical figures: 11.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 183, pour point -48 °C, flash point 239 °C. The manufacturer claims protection against LSPI and timing-chain wear.

Application

Petrol and diesel engines in Peugeot, Citroen, DS and Opel cars requiring Stellantis FPW9.55535/03, including the 1.2 PureTech and the 1.5, 2.0 and 2.2 BlueHDi, and markets with a hot climate.

Worth knowing

“Formula P” also appears in the name of Mobil Super 3000 Formula P 5W-30, but the codes of these two oils differ. That one has the PSA B71 2290 approval and ACEA class C2, and gives Fiat 9.55535-S1 as meeting the requirements. This one has a different approval, Stellantis FPW9.55535/03, and lists C2 and C3 among the ACEA classes. The article on the PSA B71 and Stellantis FPW 9.55535 codes explains that compatibility between them runs one way only: an oil with just the 2290 code is not suitable where /03 is required.

In its list of applications the manufacturer names engines by code: the diesels DV5R, DW10F and DW12RU, and among the petrols the turbocharged 1.2 PureTech EB2 of the first and second generation (the EB2DT and EB2ADT series) and the naturally aspirated EB2 of both generations. Nor does the ESP name make this oil a twin of Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30: that one has VW 504.00, VW 507.00, BMW Longlife-04 and Porsche C30, which are absent here, but lacks GM dexos2 and MB 229.31. This oil’s API classes end at SN, whereas ESP 5W-30 has SP and SQ.
