Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W-30 is part of the fully synthetic Mobil Super 3000 range, engineered to deliver outstanding engine protection. It is a high-performance, low-ash SAE 5W-30 oil designed to meet the demanding requirements of extended service intervals while contributing to superior engine cleanliness, built on the ACEA C3 industry baseline. The oil is recommended for modern (Euro 6 or prior) turbo injection diesel and gasoline engines fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF) or catalytic converters, including Volkswagen passenger cars and light commercial vehicles requiring extended drain intervals, as well as many BMW and Mercedes-Benz vehicles. It suits normal to occasionally severe operating conditions, including city driving. Key benefits include excellent high- and low-temperature wear protection, improved internal engine cleanliness maintained over the vehicle's life, fast oil circulation, and full compatibility with particulate filters and catalytic converters. The product holds MB-Approval 229.31 and 229.51, and BMW Longlife-04 approvals, and meets or exceeds API SN and ACEA C3 requirements.
