Description

Mobil Super 2000 x3 5W-40 is a semi-synthetic engine oil with a full-SAPS additive package. It is intended for earlier-generation petrol and diesel cars, SUVs, light trucks and vans in everyday driving.

It is rated ACEA A3/B4 and API SN Plus; the manufacturer also recommends it where ACEA A3/B3 is specified. The data sheet lists no official approvals.

Typical figures: viscosity 13.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 165, pour point -39 °C, flash point 225 °C, sulphated ash 1 %.

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 everyday driving under normal and occasionally severe conditions.

Worth knowing

Of the five oils in the Mobil Super 2000 line in the catalogue, this is the only one with 5W-40 viscosity, and its pour point is lower than the rest: -39 °C against -30 and -33 °C for the three 10W-40 oils and -33 °C for Super 2000 X1 5W-30. Its viscosity index of 165 is higher than the 150 of Super 2000 X1 10W-40, the only other oil in the line for which it is given. Sulphated ash is 1 % against 1.2 % for Super 2000 Formula P 10W-40 and X1 5W-30, while the phosphorus content is the same in all three data sheets, 0.10 %. The article on the oil data sheet covers what these lines tell you and what they do not.

The data sheet for this oil lists neither MB 229.3 nor VW 502.00 approvals. Among Mobil 5W-40 oils, both, together with ACEA A3/B4, are held by, among others, Mobil Super 3000 X1 5W-40, which also lists Porsche A40, Renault RN0700 and RN0710. Mobil Super 3000 X1 Diesel 5W-40 has the same MB 229.3, VW 502.00 and both Renault numbers, but PSA B71 2296 instead of Porsche A40.
