High quality and excellent technical characteristics of the 5W40 Mobil 3000 engine oil provide high-quality reliable and long-term operation of the car engine.

Purpose of engine oil

The internal combustion engine of an automobile is the main source of energy for a vehicle. The working process of the power unit is associated with high temperatures, friction forces and their accompanying processes (deformation, scuffing, overheating, vibration). Such working conditions should be classified as severe, capable of causing various defects and breakdowns. Repair of any engine is a rather laborious, almost always expensive undertaking.

To protect the car engine and ensure a quality workflow that allows the power unit to obtain the required technical parameters, a special lubricant is used, which is called engine oil. The main tasks of the oil are:

1. Reducing friction between interacting engine components.

2. Cooling of motor elements.

3. The withdrawal of the oil filter from the zone of interaction of metal particles arising in the process of friction.

4. Removal of residues of unburned fuel during the working process.

Mobile 3000 5W40 brand oil (its characteristics are discussed in the article) allows you to maintain the engine's workflow efficiently.

Engine oil composition

To create a lubricating fluid capable of performing its tasks and at the same time maintaining technical properties for a long time, a special base is used. Such a basis is of the following types:

• synthetic;
• mineral;
• semi-synthetic.

In order to form the required properties for the oil, special additives are used. According to their functional parameters, such additives are divided into antiwear, cleaning, extreme pressure, anticorrosion. The specified properties for additives are created using various combinations of phosphorus, chlorine, sulfur, disulfides and a number of other materials. The amount of additives in the oil can reach up to 25% by volume.

The high performance of Mobil 3000 5W40 is ensured by the use of a combination of synthetic base oil and a set of high-quality additives.

Mobile oil producer

The initial development and then further production of the Mobil 3000 series of motor oils is carried out by ExxonMobil, which began operations back in 1870. The company received its current name in 1999 after the merger of Mobil and Exxon. The main activities of the combined world's largest oil company are:

• extraction, transportation, processing of oil and gas condensate;
• fuel production based on oil and gas;
• Development and production of lubricants.

All fuels and lubricants produced by the company are of high quality and high technical properties obtained as a result of using high-quality raw materials, innovative production technologies and modern technological equipment.

Mobil 3000 Series

The line of this series of motor lubricants consists of the following synthetic oil options:

• 5W40;
• 5W35;
• 5W40 "Diesel";
• 5W30 Formula FE.

Of these oils, the most widely used is the Mobil 3000 5W40 variant, the characteristics of which ensure year-round use in a large number of power units of cars of various brands. For this product is appreciated by many motorists.

The designation of the viscosity of the engine oil "Mobil 3000", characteristics 5W40, is decoded as follows:

• number 5 - indicates the maximum temperature for winter operation up to minus 30 degrees;
• index W - the possibility of all-weather use;
• number 40 - determines the maximum allowable summer temperature - plus 40degrees.

Given these parameters, it should be noted that the technological characteristics of Mobil 3000 5W40 oils are stored only in the specified temperature regime.

Oil readings

The main characteristic of Mobil Super 3000 5W40 oil is shown in table 1:

Parameter name	Unit of measurement	Indicator
Kinematic viscosity (100 °C)	cSt	14, 0
Viscosity kinematic (40 °C)	cSt	84, 0
Density (15 °C)	kg/l	0, 86
Sulphated ash content	%	1, 10
Phosphorus content	%	0, 0095
Flash Point	°C	220
Pour point	°C	-39

The main characteristics of "Mobile Super 3000" 5W40 ("Diesel") are shown in table 2:

Parameter name	Unit of measurement	Indicator
Kinematic viscosity (100 °C)	cSt	14, 0
Viscosity kinematic (40 °C)	cSt	84, 0
Density (15 °C)	kg/l	0, 86
Sulphated ash content	%	1, 10
Phosphorus content	%	0, 0095
Flash Point	°C	220
Pour point	°C	-39

The use of Mobil Super 3000 5W40 ("Diesel") engine lubricant in diesel engines is indicated by the CF parameter (API classification) in the designation.

The features and benefits of these oils include:

• implementation of reliable engine protection under high temperature conditions;
• good cleaning properties, allowing to reduce the level of carbon deposits, deposits, sludge, and further protect against their occurrence;
• high lubricity under cold start conditions;
• increased anti-wear and anti-corrosion performance.

The use of Mobil 3000 5W40, which has the indicated properties and characteristics, as a lubricant for an automobile engine will ensure reliable and long-term operation of the vehicle's power unit while maintaining technical parameters.

Reviews about Mobil 3000 oil

Products of the Mobil brand are well known to domestic motorists and are in stable demand for their high quality and functional properties. Among the main advantages and characteristics of "Mobile 3000" 5W40, based on numerous descriptions and reviews of car owners, it is necessary to highlight:

1. Affordable cost for a lubricant of thislevel.

2. High cleansing properties. If, when switching to the use of "Mobile 3000" 5W40, at the first change, the lubricant may have a dark appearance, especially in older cars, then when performing the following replacements, the color of the oil becomes lighter. Such a change indicates a good initial cleaning of the engine from carbon deposits, sludge, deposits and further prevention of their occurrence.

3. Improved engine start. This advantage is especially noticeable when driving a car in winter. This quality of oil is very important in the Russian climate.

4. For an engine with a long operating time, the interval between the need to add oil to the required level increases. This property is primarily associated with the low amount of oil waste.

5. Reduced running engine noise due to high lubricity.

The original Mobil products have all the characteristic advantages. Therefore, it is necessary to purchase engine oil in trading enterprises that have the status of an official dealer of the Mobil company.
