I previously used 5w30, but the car has a decent mileage now and started consuming a bit, so I began looking for alternatives and tried this Shell. Well, the first 3000km passed and the level is still stable, I hope it stays that way. Does not consume 5W40 has MB approvals don't know  Igor Berezovoy: use Shell Helix HX8 ECT 5W-40 5L month or more i recommend it should buy |
Before using this oil, the engine was loud in cold conditions. Now—silence, even at -10°C during cold starts, there are significantly fewer strange sounds. It seems like the car thanked me for the quality choice. In turn, I already thanked the mechanic who recommended it to me. I think I'll stick with it now. An RN 0700/0710 approval is required for my car. No need to buy 5L at once, 4+1 Reasonable price for high-quality synthetic. first 5000km passed without complaints, we will see further Andrey Baraneckiy: use Shell Helix HX8 ECT 5W-40 5L month or more i recommend it should buy |
Previously, I bought HX8 AG, which is also a good oil with no issues. I have now switched to this one because I changed my car and needed different specifications. The only thing is that even on this website, the canister shown is not quite accurate. The original Shell comes with a red sticker, a code with a hologram that can be verified online. So be careful, as without the codes, it is 99.9% likely to be a fake. I hope this one will not be worse in quality than HX8 AG, but time will tell. Good quality Well protected against counterfeiting There are official approvals, not just compliance with tolerances none Dima korolev: use Shell Helix HX8 ECT 5W-40 5L month or more i recommend it should buy |
