Description
Mobil Super 1000 X1 15W-40 is a mineral engine oil from the Mobil Super 1000 range for earlier-generation petrol and diesel cars, SUVs, light trucks and vans in normal day-to-day driving.
It carries official VW 501.01 and VW 505.00 approvals and, according to the oil maker, meets the requirements of MB 229.1 without a formal approval. It is rated ACEA A3/B3 and covers the API categories from SP, SN Plus, SN and SM back to SL and SJ, plus the diesel category API CF.
Typical figures: viscosity 14.9 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 142, pour point -30 °C, flash point 239 °C.
The oil is not intended for engines fitted with a particulate filter.
Application
Earlier-generation petrol and diesel cars, SUVs, light trucks and vans without a particulate filter in normal everyday use.
Worth knowing
Which approvals this viscosity has depends on which Mobil document you open. The British Mobil page that the entry is based on lists VW 501.01 and VW 505.00 as approvals and gives MB 229.1 only as a recommendation where it is required. The shared data sheet for the 10W-40, 15W-40 and 20W-50 grades, which Mobil publishes on its sites for several European countries, says something else for the 15W-40: MB 229.1 and VW 505.00 approvals without VW 501.01, and only SL and SJ among the API classes. The figures differ too: 14.4 mm²/s at 100 °C and a 230 °C flash point in the shared data sheet, against 14.9 mm²/s and 239 °C on the British page.
Whether this particular grade, rather than the line as a whole, is approved to MB 229.1 can be checked in the Mercedes-Benz list of approved oils. The article on the MB 229.1 approval explains where to find that list and which engines the number covers: passenger-car engines built from 1998 to 2002.
