Product Information
Full details
This fully synthetic Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W-20 engine oil is designed for modern vehicles requiring advanced protection and performance, particularly those with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems, extended service intervals, or diesel particulate filters. Its key benefit is providing superior engine cleanliness and wear protection. A caveat is that it is specifically formulated for certain VW, Audi, Porsche, and other European and Asian vehicle specifications, so compatibility must be confirmed. This 5L canister oil meets ACEA C5 and API SN PLUS specifications and is recommended for VW 508 00/509 00 and Porsche C20 approvals.

FAQs
What vehicles is Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 0W-20 oil recommended for?
It is primarily recommended for VW, Audi, and Porsche vehicles requiring specific approvals like VW 508 00 / 509 00 and Porsche C20. It's also suitable for other manufacturers that specify ACEA C5 and API SN PLUS with a 0W-20 viscosity, particularly those with SCR systems or DPFs, and manufactured from 01/2015 to 12/2020.
Can I use this oil in an older car not listed in the specifications?
It is not recommended unless your vehicle's owner's manual explicitly states compatibility with 0W-20 viscosity and the ACEA C5 or API SN PLUS specifications. Using the wrong oil can lead to reduced performance and potential engine damage.
What does 'fully synthetic' mean for engine oil?
Fully synthetic engine oils are chemically engineered in laboratories to provide superior lubrication, protection, and performance characteristics compared to conventional or synthetic-blend oils. They offer better resistance to heat, reduced volatility, and improved flow at low temperatures.
How does this oil protect Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs)?
This oil is a low-SAPS (Sulfated Ash, Phosphorus, Sulfur) formulation. This means it has reduced levels of ash, phosphorus, and sulfur, which helps prevent the buildup of deposits in the DPF, maintaining its efficiency and lifespan.
What is the significance of the VW 508 00 / 509 00 and Porsche C20 specifications?
These are advanced OEM specifications set by Volkswagen and Porsche. They typically require oils with specific performance characteristics, including fuel economy improvements, enhanced wear protection, and compatibility with specific engine technologies and emissions systems used in their modern vehicles.
How often should I change this oil?
Always refer to your vehicle's owner's manual for the recommended oil change interval. Mobil Super 3000 Formula V is designed for extended service intervals, but actual frequency depends on your driving conditions and manufacturer recommendations.
Troubleshooting
Engine oil warning light illuminates intermittently
Check the engine oil level using the dipstick. If low, top up with the correct Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W-20 oil. If the level is adequate, the issue may require professional diagnosis of the oil pressure sensor or system.
Increased oil consumption
Ensure the correct oil viscosity and specification is being used. Excessive consumption could indicate internal engine wear or leaks, which requires professional inspection.
Engine runs rough or lacks power
Confirm the oil change interval has not been significantly exceeded and that the correct oil type is used. Issues could also stem from other maintenance items; consult your owner's manual or a mechanic.
Oil filter is difficult to remove
Use a proper oil filter wrench. If it's still stuck, you may need to carefully use a screwdriver to puncture and turn it, but be cautious not to damage the engine block. Always lubricate the new filter's gasket before installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility Verification: Before use, always consult your vehicle's owner's manual to confirm that the Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W-20 oil, with its specific viscosity grade (0W-20) and specifications (ACEA C5, API SN PLUS, VW 508 00/509 00, Porsche C20), is recommended. This oil is generally suitable for cars manufactured between 01/2015 and 12/2020, and for engines with SCR systems, DPFs, or requiring extended service intervals. It is compatible with lead-free fuel and meets Euro 5 and Euro 6 emission standards.
Changing the Oil: Follow your vehicle manufacturer's recommended oil change intervals as outlined in the owner's manual. Typically, this involves:
- Safely lifting the vehicle and placing it on jack stands.
- Locating and removing the oil drain plug.
- Draining the old oil into a suitable container.
- Replacing the oil drain plug, ensuring it is tightened to the manufacturer's specification.
- Removing the old oil filter.
- Lubricating the rubber gasket on the new oil filter with a small amount of fresh oil and screwing it into place.
- Filling the engine with the correct amount of new Mobil Super 3000 Formula V 5W-20 oil (refer to manual for capacity).
- Running the engine for a few minutes to circulate the oil and check for leaks.
- Shutting off the engine, waiting a few minutes, and checking the oil level with the dipstick, topping up if necessary.
- Properly disposing of the old oil and filter.
Care: Store the 5L canister in a clean, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the cap is securely tightened when not in use to prevent contamination. Regular checks of the oil level between changes are recommended.
