Purpose and Specifications

Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 is a premium full synthetic engine oil in a 5-liter container, engineered for modern diesel and gasoline engines in passenger cars, SUVs, and light vans. Its 5W-30 viscosity flows easily at cold starts down to -42°C to -45°C (pour point) for quick protection, while staying stable up to 221°C to 254°C flash point in extreme heat. Low-ash formula (0.6% sulphated ash) protects diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalytic converters (CAT) from buildup and poisoning, meeting strict specs like BMW LL-04, MB 229.31/51/52, Porsche C30, VW 504.00/507.00, ACEA C2/C3, API SP.

• Outstanding thermal stability reduces oil aging for extended drain intervals up to 12,000 miles (19,000 km).
• Active cleaners cut sludge and deposits for longer engine life.
• Low oil consumption and enhanced friction properties boost fuel economy.
• Ideal for high-performance European vehicles and extreme conditions.

When to Use / Replace?

Use Mobil 1 ESP 5W-30 in vehicles requiring low-SAPS (sulfated ash, phosphorus, sulfur) oils for emission systems. Perfect for turbocharged direct-injection engines prone to low-speed pre-ignition (LSPI). Replace every 10,000-20,000 km (6,000-12,000 miles) or 12 months, or per your owner's manual—whichever comes first. Shelf life is 4-5 years unopened in cool, dry storage. Check oil level monthly; top up if low.
