Mobil 1 M1 0W-40 "FS" SN VOA

Excuse the ignorance but does "FS" = Full synthetic here?
How will this hold up compared to the last Sn formulation at track conditions?

Thank you
I guess the bottom line is that for me (and my old BMW) there's no obvious reason not to keep using it. Of course there's also no obvious reason not to keep using the Castrol 0W-40 I bought the last time either.

This is something I probably wouldn't want to do. The formulations between the 5w-20 M1 and the 0w-40 are quite different. They might as well be different brands. One is very high calcium, no sodium while the other is low calcium, high sodium. You'd end up with a M1 product unlike anything they produce or test.
Based on the latest Castrol 0w-40 VOA, mixing M1 5w-20 and Castrol 0w-40 would result in a more consistent mix (ie both are lower calcium, higher magnesium oils).

Correct me if I am wrong but I don't believe the M1 5w20EP I got has sodium sir
I think you're right. He may have been meaning magnesium, which he mentioned in another sentence. The only sodium in Mobil products are in Mobil Super, as far as I know.
Bumped to join Wally World European buddies for comparison.
OP you have the VOA uploaded again I can't see it
Thanks
Thanks
Do you realize you're dealing with a 4 year old post?
And? You have something useful to add?
