SP rated Mobil 1 0W-40 Euro spotted

You running that in the Mustang? If so, how's it do and sound?

not at the moment, have been eyeballing it for the next change though.

Why? If it wasn't working out for you then there are other choices for oils with similar approvals.

Simply because it's the BITOG favorite. The Castrol with the same approvals has been working out great so far.

I used it in my dad’s e90. Seems good

Meets or Exceeds does not equal having approvals.

API shows M1 FS 0w40 has the license for SN, not SN-Plus nor SP.

Yup, Castrol uses the same language.

You'll note different language is used for different types of approvals. It's all correct language, it just depends on the approval type.

The difference is when they use "recommended for" or "suitable for".

And more specifically those aren’t approvals, so as you note the language is correct here.

But I think he was pointing out that ExxonMobil is stating the product is API SP licensed. My ELOCS Directoryfu may be a little off when it comes to the specific name but it seems to appear on there as well.

Yes, I'm using specification and approval here interchangeably but as you note, there's a difference in the language used to describe it.
