Mobil Super™ 1000 X1 15W-40 — Premium Conventional Motor Oil

Proudly Made in South Africa

Mobil Super™ 1000 X1 15W-40 is locally manufactured in South Africa — combining ExxonMobil's global lubricant engineering standards with local production. This means reliable availability, shorter supply chains and the confidence of a globally trusted brand produced for South African conditions and the South African vehicle parc. Supporting local manufacturing while delivering genuine Mobil quality.

Formulation

Excellent Engine Cleanliness

Detergency and dispersancy additives maintain clean pistons, valve trains and oil passages throughout the service interval — preventing the sludge and carbon deposit build-up that shortens engine life in vehicles used for everyday driving, particularly in older engines.

Good High-Temperature Protection

Flash Point of 239°C and Viscosity Index of 142 ensure adequate oil film thickness at operating temperature — protecting engines during highway cruising and sustained driving conditions where oil temperature is elevated and film strength is most critical.

Good Wear Protection

A well-balanced additive system provides reliable wear protection across normal operating conditions — extending engine life in passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks and vans used in daily driving where consistent lubrication quality is more important than extreme-performance capability.

Wide Temperature Range

15W-40 multigrade viscosity provides reliable performance across the full South African temperature range — adequate cold-start fluidity in winter conditions (Pour Point -30°C) and stable high-temperature viscosity retention through summer heat and demanding road conditions.

Industry-Proven Reliability

Mobil Super 1000 is an industry-proven product line trusted across nearly all vehicle types under normal daily operating conditions — backed by ExxonMobil's decades of lubricant engineering expertise and the confidence of genuine VW and MB approval coverage.

Made in South Africa

Locally manufactured to ExxonMobil global standards — ensuring consistent product quality, reliable local availability and shorter supply chains. The correct choice for procurement teams, fleet operators and workshops prioritising local supply chain resilience alongside genuine Mobil performance.

Older Engine Technologies

The primary recommended application — older petrol and diesel engines where 15W-40 conventional oil is the correct or adequate specification, and where the cost advantage of mineral oil over synthetic is meaningful without compromising protection.

Everyday Passenger Vehicles

Passenger cars, SUVs, light trucks and vans used for normal daily driving under normal operating conditions — highway cruising and moderate city use where a trusted conventional oil delivers the correct balance of protection and cost-in-use.

High-Volume Fleet Operations

Taxi fleets, rental fleets and large vehicle pools running older petrol and diesel engines where the cost-per-litre advantage of a quality conventional oil is significant at scale — without sacrificing the brand assurance and OEM compliance of genuine Mobil.

Workshop General Stock

A reliable workshop stock oil for older European vehicles requiring VW 501 01 / 505 00 or MB 229.1 specification — broad enough approval coverage to handle the majority of older European passenger vehicles presenting for a standard service.

Agriculture & Light Commercial

Light commercial vehicles, farm bakkies and agricultural support vehicles operating under normal conditions where the 15W-40 multigrade provides appropriate protection for older petrol and diesel engines without DPF systems.

Not Suitable For

Engines with Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). Not for frequently severe or extreme operating conditions — consider Mobil Super™ 2000 X1 10W-40 or Super™ 3000 X1 5W-40 for more demanding applications. Not for 2-cycle or aviation engines.
