Re: [MBZ] Is M-1 0W-30 approved MB oil?
I seem to remember some folks using approved 0-W-30 back when the other choice was 15-W-50. I am using the Truck/SUV at the moment (approved). On 3/22/06, W.

Re: [MBZ] Is M-1 0W-30 approved MB oil?
Short answer: NO. Long answer: MB approved oils are xW-40 or xW-50. Anything xW-30 is too thin, no matter what silly rating is on the bottle, or what Mobil claims on the label. Also, the current M-1 Truck SUV is NOT approved, as it is 5W-30, and therefore too thin. You want the new M-1 Turbo Diesel Truck variety, which is 5W-40. Stick with either the 5W-40 or 15W-50 if you use Mobil-1. -dm -- Date: Wed, 22 Mar 2006 08:35:29 -0600 From: LT Don [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [MBZ] Is M-1 0W-30 approved MB oil?

Re: [MBZ] Is M-1 0W-30 approved MB oil?
I have been searching the product data sheet library at the ExxonMobil web site for the specs on the new Mobil 1 Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 formula and have been unable to find any specs. What is your source for concluding that it is (or will be) identical to the old TSUV and to Delvac 1. Also, I read a press release in which ExxonMobil said that the new Turbo Diesel Truck 5W-40 would be in the retail stores by the middle of April this year.
