Description

Mobil 1 ESP LV 0W-30 is a fully synthetic oil in the Mobil 1 range with a reduced high-temperature viscosity (HTHS around 3 mPa·s), designed to save fuel in modern engines.

It carries official Volvo VCC 95200377 and MB 229.61 approvals and meets the requirements of Ford WSS-M2C920-A without a formal approval. It is rated ACEA C2 and A5/B5, combining fuel economy with protection of exhaust after-treatment systems, as well as API SN and SL.

Typical figures: 9.7 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 180, sulphated ash 0.8 %, pour point -51 °C. Extended drain intervals apply only where the car maker provides for them.

Application

New fuel-efficient petrol, diesel and hybrid Volvo, Mercedes-Benz and BMW cars, and Asian models, for which 0W-30 to one of its specifications is called for.

Worth knowing

The part of the name shared with ESP 0W-30 says nothing about approvals: these two oils have not a single approval in common. HTHS here is 3.0 mPa·s, and the ACEA classes are C2 and A5/B5, intended for engines designed for lower-viscosity oils. ESP 0W-30 has ACEA C3, which, as the article on today’s ACEA classes and their HTHS limits shows, requires at least 3.5 mPa·s. The VW 504.00, VW 507.00 and MB 229.51 approvals held by ESP 0W-30 are missing from this oil, and its Volvo VCC 95200377 and MB 229.61 are missing from ESP 0W-30.

Mobil Super 3000 Formula VC 0W-30 also holds an official Volvo VCC 95200377 approval, but has neither ACEA C2 nor MB 229.61; no other Mobil oil in the catalogue has MB 229.61. When comparing data sheets, mind the test method: the flash point of 200 °C for this oil was measured in a closed cup (ASTM D93), while the 230 °C for ESP 0W-30 was measured in an open cup (ASTM D92).
