Different versions of Mobil 1 0w40 Leads to More Questions

Mobil Canada

Mobil USA

If you compare the Specifications and Approvals, they are different, as well as the Typical Properties of the oils in question.

There is a thread on BITOG in regards to this discrepancy, as well as my earlier post to this blog, with regards to my concern about Mobil 1's Porsche Approval, since the bottle says Porsche Approval List 2002 and based on Porsche's approval process, manufacturers must recertify their oil every three years AND/OR when there is a formulation change, as Mobil did when changing from an API SL to an API SM oil.

Here is the BITOG link.
