Mobil Super 3000 XE1 5W-40 is a synthetic, high-performance, low-ash SAE 5W-40 engine oil designed to help prolong the life and maintain the efficiency of the exhaust emission reduction systems in both diesel and gasoline powered automobiles. The oil is developed to meet the latest engine oil specifications required by major car manufacturers and is compatible with most of the latest diesel particulate filters and all gasoline catalytic converters, offering excellent performance at both very low and very high operating temperatures. It is recommended by ExxonMobil for Volkswagen vehicles requiring VW 505 00 / VW 505 01 approval, and is specially recommended for Porsche vehicles requiring Porsche A40 approval. Key benefits include maintaining exhaust emission reduction system efficiency in both diesel and gasoline vehicles, permitting extended operation at elevated temperatures without oxidative thickening or oil breakdown, excellent low-temperature fluidity for easy winter starting and rapid oil circulation, and long-term engine protection from wear and sludge and deposit build-up. The product holds VW 505 00, VW 505 01 and GM dexos2 approvals, and meets or exceeds API SM and ACEA C3 requirements.
VW 505 00 — diesel engine oil
VW's standard for passenger-car diesel engine oils without unit-injector injection, on a fixed drain interval.
VW diesel engine oil for unit-injector engines
VW's standard for diesel engine oil in passenger cars with unit-injector (Pumpe-Düse) fuel systems, which demand a stronger antiwear package than plain 505 00.Source

Diesel engine oil, API CF performance level
API's service category for indirect-injection diesel engines, tolerant of higher-sulphur fuel. An earlier category in the API service classification, written for the engines of its era; it still appears on datasheets alongside the current categories.Source
Petrol engine oil, API SM performance level
API's service category for spark-ignition engines. Current category.Source
ACEA C3 oil sequence
