Mobil 1 FS 0w40 has bmw longlife 01 again

Care to explain, bcs. BMW does not do licensing.
are you guys talking about the one i posted in another thread, mobil 1 0-30 c3 , sp?
because i can't find any mobil 1 0-30 a3/b4, sp online just one its SL
what spec determines that is suitable for short trips?
None.
By definition there is no suitable or non suitable oil for short trips.
But generally, lighter oils are better. KV40 is lower, it will have less resistance, better suitable for higher load before oil reaches operating temperature. It is that rule: “as thin as possible, as thick as necessary,” that applies well here.

I'm talking about Mobil 1 FS 0W-40, that's now SP.

A bit more vague than the previous claims, but this is interesting.

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that Mobil started using alkylated naphthalene in their FS lineup.

There is a UOA of 0W-40 API SP somewhere around here. The additive package didn't change much, except for lower Ca and the addition of Mg. However, when you mess with the detergent package, you also mess with the tribo-film. I wouldn't be surprised if Mobil added ANs to compensate for the lower Ca, as Ca is also a friction reducer. Also, if you add AN and reduce the detergent package, you get more out of less ZDDP. That's how Triple Action is formulated.Surprised we haven’t seen a VOA yet. The oil-club guys are usually on it. Might have to do it myself soon if not.
Him and that wacko from michigan lol
ok , speaking of wackos
lighter oils defined by HTHS or grade? i know that there are 0w oils that their viscosity are bigger than 5w and i know w30 oils that have HTHS bigger than w40's.
are 0/5w40 oils included in the lighter oils category or just 0/5w30 oils?
i checked my 2011 manual and says suggested LL01 oils and alternative LL04. but when i did my fist OCI on dealership service because of warranty they filled it up with LL04 and advised me to use that approval . its easier for them as mentioned above to give 1 instruction for all fleet.
but since my engine doesn't have a gpf and was designed with LL01 approval in mind then is it better to use that instead of LL04 that was based for economical reasons and reasons that had nothing to do with engine reasons?
i don't know if bmw DI engines of all kind in US, had the same problems that we had in Europe. could one of the reasons be the wrong, i really can't say wrong ,its official could't be wrong, oil approvals that we used from the first miles? with oils that did't protect the engine properly?
usual problems for bmw DI engines in Europe are: injectors failure, engine overheating , nox and lambda sensors , high compression pump e.t.c. almost 90% precent of failure has to do with fuel and oil supply parts.and they are very expensive.
LL04 is basically lower SAPS version of LL01. Either will do excellent. There is no difference IMO.
HTHS. Higher HTHS=more resistance.ok , speaking of wackos

i just use this post from chris to repost one that i found in the internet and tell us your opinion.
I think that is one person's opinion and is not necessarily fact-based.i just use this post from chris to repost one that i found in the internet and tell us your opinion.
i know about saps , but as many said LL01 has more additives(aiming more to protect the engine) and/or different ones from LL04 (aiming more fuel economy and efficiency).
