It appears the ESP x3 euro car formula and the euro car fs are primarily covering the euro market specifications. The esp x3 is relatively new. I doubt we will see the future price for M1 below $8. My distributor claims the wd pricing has gone up substantially this year. My original point was that the oil below is something that I have never heard of and what Walmart would sub for it is the question. I did see that the pn# listed and it is the the old esp.

There's regular eurocar formula that's not for our cars.

The esp that Walmart sells for $10 is the one that got rebranded to supercar. As their esp stock dwindled they started shipping out supercar. Theyre identical oils with identical sku numbers so you're ok receiving either one.

Esp x3 euro formula is not new but yeah it hasn't been around for 30 years like m1 0w40 European Car. It is dexos 2 so covers gm. It also covers Porsche. Its $5.50 a quart when on perpetual sale at AutoZone.


European car FS has been around forever. Its changed formulation over the years keeping up with the times. It was a Porsche factory fill and yeah in the 2000s pretty much all us euro guys used it in our porsches and Audis. It became less popular in the past 5 -8 years as alot of euro manufacturer oil specs started to change

Received the oil from Walmart and they did ship Supercar. Ordered it at 2pm yesterday and got it today at noon with free shipping, amazing. The price was $9.87+Tax. I have 4 cases on order from Summit which has been moved out 3 times to 12/22. The Summit price was $8.99+tax.
