    In Reply to: Anyone has used the new Mobil1 0W30 oil in their cars?? posted by Maini on 2008-06-06 15:25:57

    I'd rather have oil that holds up under high temp, speed, and pressure. ACEA A3 tests for that.

    of the Mobil 1 series, only 15W50 EP and 0W40 meet A3.

    I dont have data on the 0W30. It might be excellent for everyday use in colder and moderate climates where startup and cold are the primary sources of wear.
