I just noticed Exxon/Mobil recently updated their MSDS on M1 0W40 (Aug. 21 2015), and I can't recall the older sheet. Can someone chime in as in what changes are made?
thanks
thanks

Yes. Unbeatable price and availability.

Odd, I read in another thread 'what you pay is what you get' so it must be deficient in some aspect... j/k.

I would say that Castrol 0w-40 matches it both in price and availability.

Not with M1's current $15 rebate

+1, if you can find the stuff with -76 pour point.
Other than absolute coldest weather behaviors, it seems that the M1 and Castrol 0w-40 and pennzoil platinum 5w-40 are all in the same ballpark.

I doubt they changed much (if anything at all). Perhaps they had to simply update the MSDS with an updated license date/# or something and not necessarily a formula change.
I haven't been around here for very long and I have not been a Mobil 1 user since the early 70's (living in North Dakota makes you an honorary Canadian and pour points occasionally really mean something).
But it has be said that the UOA's I've seen on Mobil 1 are hard to refute or outperform. Which may be why Pennzoil GTL leans so heavily on the cleanliness angle as the preferred method of differentiation. That is a very valid thing to do and I for one find it persuasive.
But M1, pretty darn good, I'm just sayin'.

Unbeatable price not in OZ. $95 AUD for 5 L.
Other oil with relevant vehicle OEM approval are better value.

Marginally cheaper in Blighty...
5 litres of M1 New Life 0W40 - £39.70 ($A 87.34, $US 60.34)

Pfffffft. Overpriced and no real world gain using it. Castrol euro and m1 euro can be had for under 30 a jug and carry real world approvals,not meets or exceeds.
Amsoil is a good product but only a fool pays those kinds of prices for a product when a certified product can be had for cheaper.

And exactly what will a voa tell you. Absolutely nothing unless you've got a used oil analysis to compare it against.
A voa cannot see organic adds and therefore only tell part of the story.what good is a partial list?
Pointless

And Mobil 1 0W 40 sells for $26 for 5 quarts at Walmart .
These are great times with high quality, inexpensive synthetic oils of various brands at Walmart.
Watch the sales at the auto parts stores and other retailers and you can do even better.
There is a lot of quality out there in those bottles.
Boutique oil without the boutique prices.

If you used it to its full potential, you could potentially get a really long oci out of it.
That being said I could care aless if you use it or not
