Mobil 1 0W-40 is the only Mobil 1 oil that is certified to meet the GM-LL-025-A/B specification. The other Mobil 1 oils are very good oils, but only the Mobil 1 0W-40 states that it meets GM-LL-A-025 (gasoline) and GM-LL-B-025 (diesel) specifications on the bottle. Mobil 1 0W-40 also lists that it meets Mercedes MB 229.5, Porsche Approval List 2002, BMW Longlife 01, and VW 502.00/505.00/503.01.
Since it is expense to test and certify to manufactures standards, one can not know whether other Mobil 1 oils may be able to pass the test specifications but have not been certified.
