Outdated Product
Oil from the Helix HX8 line, the slogan of which is "maximum performance". One of the factors for this was the proprietary technology of active detergent additives, as well as increased oil stability throughout the entire interval between replacements; all this prevents engine contamination. In addition, this brand has a fairly good resistance to cold. It is intended for passenger cars with gasoline and diesel engines, but cannot be used with turbocharging. It is also worth noting the approvals from 3 European car companies.

Previously used 5w30 also hx8, now decided to try switching to 5w40, as at my mileage, experts say it's better to use 5w40 now, so we'll try. So far, after driving 1500 km, everything seems fine, oil pressure, runs quietly.

I have already taken this Shell 3 times, I am satisfied. The engine on it works really quieter than on the previous one, plus I noticed that under the filler cap it became cleaner. So what they write on the Internet that Shell cleans the engine cool, it is a fact. The only minus is that you can get a fake, so you need to be careful in this regard. In other aspects, I see only pluses so far.
Cost
Protection against counterfeits
Quality that easily withstands 10,000 km
there are fakes, so you need to be careful when buying and check the canister online for counterfeits.

If you are looking for high-quality synthetics, but do not want to overpay, then probably this Shell is like a slave will be the optimal solution from the point of view of price / quality. Just change the photo of the canister on the website, otherwise I haven't even seen it anywhere. I attached my photo.
Tolerances, value, real synthetics at a reasonable price.
