I’m just waiting for the 0W-40 to become more readily available( Amazon, specifically sold by amazon, not third party, Walmart, etc) to switch over. Until then, Pennzoil platinum 5W-30 it is. My car only sees the street, but if the ESP oil will provide better protection and reduce carbon build up, I’m all for that.

Have you at all considered it could stand for Mechanical Setting Tool? A name used for oil flow control in engineering, science, etc. Regardless, one should not be influenced by an old trade mark acronym, but rather what an updated, post Dexos2 certification, official data sheet says, which i have attached. It clearly states "LOW SAPS". And so do all other descriptions of this Dexos2 oil. The funny part is, you may have indirectly answered my question why you thought Valvoline MST was bad. Which of course it isnt becuase it is NOT mid SAPS at all. Officially. According to its manufacturer vs Bob's "expert". Good day sir! |

For those interested in Mobil 1 0W-40 ESP the best deal can be had here: https://www.speedwaymotors.com/
I bought two 6-quart boxes for $49.99 each with free shipping. Also just got my rebate check from Mobil which was $12 per 5 quarts. So, I got 12 quarts for $76 (plus some taxes). https://apfco.com/secured/R10130W/ |

Speedway has a link on their website so they are participating. Mobil1 doesn't list every single retailer on their site. I turned mine in a while back. Still waiting on it.

The 19’s come w the oil cap that now day 0w-40. Was surprised to see that when I took it in for an oil change at the local oil change shop after 1000 miles.

Dexos 2 is required and not found at all places. The regular 0-40 is not dexos 2 certified. Do you know exactly what they put in?
