One of the best 5W-30 oils, among other things with the official release of Peugeot

I use the Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 since my last inspection in my Peugeot 207 (1.6, 120 hp, VTi). The decision for this oil, I have consciously taken, since it is one of the best oils in the market and I did not want to get involved in the overpriced oil price the workshop.

The Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 has one of the few oils an official release for Peugeot to standard B71 2290 and is to be equated with the use ended by Peugeot / favorite TOTAL Quartz Ineo ECS 5W-30. Cross-manufacturer, it ia a release by BMW Longlife 04 and MB 229.51 - with the highest quality / most stringent Longlife clearances that exist currently. The Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 is among other things used or recommended, for example, in the Mini with the identical PS 95/98 and 120/122 PS VTi engines from BMW itself.

The wichtigstens specifications of Mobil 1 ESP Formula 5W-30 are as follows:

Viscosity at 40 ° C: 72.8 (higher = better)
Viscosity at 100 ° C: 12.1 (higher = better)
Viscosity Index: 164 (higher = better)
HTHS viscosity mPas at 150 ° C: 3.58 (higher = better)
Pour Point, ° C: -45 (lower = better)
Flash point, ° C: 254 (higher = better)

In particular, the HTHS value is important here. A HTHS value> 3.5 mPas to protect against wear and a long lifetime enable (keyword: timing chain). Oils with reduced HTHS value
Since the oil is also slightly more expensive than standard oils, my full recommendation.
