It holds an official Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE approval and meets ACEA C5 and API SP.

Application

Recent Volvo petrol, diesel and hybrid cars, and Japanese and Korean vehicles for which the maker requires 0W-20.

Worth knowing

The Mobil Super 3000 line has two Volvo oils with the letters VC, and they meet different Volvo specifications. This 0W-20 is officially approved to Volvo VCC RBS0-2AE, and of the Mobil oils in the catalogue it is the only one with that code. Formula VC 0W-30 is approved to Volvo VCC 95200377 and is rated ACEA A5/B5 and A7/B7, not C5; Mobil 1 ESP LV 0W-30 also officially holds the same 95200377 code.

ExxonMobil’s stated HTHS of above 2.75 mPa·s falls in the upper half of the range that the overview of today’s ACEA classes allots to C5: 2.6 to 2.9 mPa·s. The same overview reminds the reader that ACEA assigns C5 only to engines designed for such a viscosity and approved for it by the manufacturer. This oil also differs from Formula VC 0W-30 in viscosity at 100 °C: 8.7 mm²/s, against 9.9 mm²/s for the 0W-30.
