Description

Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W-30 is a fully synthetic low-ash engine oil for VW-group petrol and diesel cars and vans on extended (Longlife) change intervals. It also suits many BMW and Mercedes-Benz models and other cars requiring ACEA C3.

It holds official VW 504.00, VW 507.00, BMW Longlife-04 and Porsche C30 approvals and meets ACEA C3 and API SQ, SP, SN Plus and SN. It is compatible with particulate filters and catalytic converters.

Typical figures: viscosity 12 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 170, pour point -42 °C.

Extended intervals apply only as specified by VW, BMW or Mercedes-Benz.

Application

VW-group petrol and diesel cars and vans on extended change intervals, as well as many BMW and Mercedes-Benz models and other vehicles requiring ACEA C3.

Worth knowing

The line in the ExxonMobil data sheet saying the oil is “recommended also for many BMW and MB passenger cars” is easily read as a Mercedes approval, yet the entry contains no Mercedes-Benz number at all: the approvals are VW, BMW and Porsche codes only, and the statements of compliance concern only ACEA and API classes. For a car that requires MB 229.51 or MB 229.52, this line is neither an approval nor a statement of compliance with those particular numbers. Both of them, together with MB 229.31, VW 505.00, VW 505.01 and GM dexos2, are held within the same range by Mobil Super 3000 XE 5W-30, also an ACEA C3 5W-30.

XE, on the other hand, has neither the VW 504.00 and 507.00 pair nor Longlife-04 and Porsche C30, and the newest API class in its entry is SN, whereas Formula V also has SN Plus, SP and SQ. The overview of VW-group approvals shows what the group intends this pair for: 504.00 for petrol engines on the extended Longlife interval, 507.00 for the same kind of diesels, including those with particulate filters that work without a fuel-borne additive.
