Description

Mobil Super 2000 X1 5W-30 is a semi-synthetic engine oil with a full level of ash-forming additives (full SAPS) for petrol and diesel cars, SUVs and vans without a particulate filter. It is designed for standard change intervals of up to 15,000 km or one year.

The oil meets ACEA A3/B4 and API SL, and the oil maker recommends it where ACEA A3/B3 or the diesel category API CF is required. The data sheet lists no carmaker approvals.

Typical figures: viscosity 12.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, pour point -33 °C, flash point 235 °C, sulphated ash 1.2 %.

Because of its high ash content, the oil is not used in cars with a particulate filter.

Application

Earlier-generation petrol and diesel cars, SUVs and vans without a particulate filter on a standard change interval of up to 15,000 km or one year.

Worth knowing

The only petrol API class this oil carries is SL, and according to the article on the API SL class, API regards SL as a class for engines of model year 2004 and older. For modern direct-injection turbo engines the same article advises looking for at least SP on the can. The catalogue has no other 5W-30 oil in the Mobil Super 2000 line, and the higher API SN Plus with the same ACEA A3/B4 and A3/B3 is listed for oils in other SAE grades: Super 2000 x3 5W-40 and Super 2000 Formula P 10W-40.

Owners of cars with a particulate filter have to look at another line: the data sheet for this oil states 1.2 % sulphated ash and 0.10 % phosphorus. Among Mobil 5W-30 oils, ACEA C3 with MB 229.51, VW 505.00 and VW 505.01 approvals belongs to Mobil Super 3000 XE 5W-30 with 0.8 % ash, while ACEA C1 and the JLR STJLR.03.5005 approval are listed for Mobil Super 3000 Formula 5W-30 with 0.4 % ash. Which one you need depends on the code in the service book, not merely on whether the car has a filter.
