Description

Mobil Super 3000 XE1 5W-30 is a synthetic low-ash engine oil from the Mobil Super 3000 range. It is intended first and foremost for BMW cars, and it also suits petrol and diesel Mercedes-Benz models with a particulate filter.

The oil is rated ACEA C2 and C3 and API SN Plus, SN, SM and SL. It holds official BMW Longlife-04, MB 229.31, MB 229.51 and MB 229.52 approvals.

Typical figures: viscosity 11.9 mm²/s at 100 °C and 69.6 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 168, pour point -39 °C, flash point 232 °C, density 853 kg/m³.

It is compatible with diesel particulate filters and petrol catalytic converters.

Application

BMW cars that require BMW Longlife-04, and Mercedes-Benz cars with a particulate filter that call for MB 229.31, MB 229.51 or MB 229.52.

Worth knowing

ExxonMobil’s page recommends this oil for BMW cars that need the Longlife-04 specification. Among the 5W-30 oils in the Mobil Super 3000 range, Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W-30 also holds this approval, but alongside it that oil has VW 504.00, VW 507.00 and Porsche C30, while XE1 has MB 229.31, MB 229.51 and MB 229.52. So of these two oils, only XE1 has Mercedes-Benz numbers, and only Formula V has VW 504.00 and 507.00.

The table of oils with BMW Longlife-04 approval carries a note that for many engines where Longlife-04 used to be required, BMW now also permits the newer Longlife-19 FE in the 0W-30 grade; the XE1 entry has no such number. The BMW Longlife-04 page lists other oils with Longlife-04, split into those that are approved and those whose maker only claims compliance.
