Mobil 1 FS 0W-40

Description

Mobil 1 FS 0W-40 is a fully synthetic full-ash (Full SAPS) oil in the Mobil 1 range for petrol and diesel passenger-car engines, turbocharged, hybrid and high-performance units included.

It carries official MB 229.3, MB 229.5, VW 502.00, VW 505.00, BMW Longlife-01, Porsche A40, GM dexosR and Nissan Genuine Performances approvals. It meets the requirements of VW 503.01 and Ford WSS-M2C937-A without formal approval. Categories: ACEA A3/B4, API SQ, SP, SN Plus, SN, SM, SL, SJ and CF.

Typical figures: 13.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 182, pour point -42 °C, which helps cold starting.

Because of its full ash content, the oil is not intended for cars with a DPF or GPF.

Application

Petrol and diesel cars without a particulate filter, including turbocharged, direct-injection, hybrid and high-performance models, in conditions ranging from moderate to severe.

Worth knowing

From Mercedes-Benz this oil holds only the full-ash approvals MB 229.3 and MB 229.5. The low-ash MB 229.51 and MB 229.52 are not there: among the 0W-40 oils of the range they are held by ESP X3 0W-40 and ESP X4 0W-40, so for an engine whose service book says 229.51 or 229.52, on the strength of their approval lists it is those two that fit, not the FS. How 229.5 differs from 229.3 and which number Mercedes added later for new engines is explained in the article on MB 229.5.

VW 503.01 is a different case: on Mobil’s page it stands under “recommended for” next to API CF, and in the catalogue only two oils have it at all, both only as meeting the requirements. The description of VAG approvals describes 503.01 as an oil for highly loaded Longlife petrol engines with HTHS above 3.5 mPa·s; according to the updated note there, cars on an extended interval moved to the 504.00 and 507.00 pair, and those numbers are not in the FS 0W-40 list.
