I probably wouldn't need the Professional oil. How much cheaper is the Amateur oil?

I cannot understand why this is so cold ? Its quite crude if you ask me :wink:

Can i put this in a type R Honda?
If i don't ask oil never know.

Brilliant, thanks!

thanks ordered. heat added

Notice the other day may engine starting slowly to drying up so this gonna cure that problem for a while. Ordered. Thanks heat added.

Just bought mine.Great price.

And to elaborate, it's 'Ford WSS-M2C913-C, WSS-M2C913-D' that has arrived, not the 'A or B' variant that they photographed.

Mine has just arrived. Fully synthetic, 5 litres. Thanks OP. At £17 for a 5 litre bottle, that's the same price as budget QX stuff off of eBay. Should do nicely in my Ford Crown Victoria!

​I said the same thing about porn, but was sadly disappointed

No problem.


Just buy 2 of the 5 litre bottles; the 1l bottles are aimed (and priced) at consumers who don't know any better and it'll also mean you have some left over either for topping up or your next service.

Apologies

Buy few 5l at this price - for next services... 1l bottles are usually expensive

Thanks, I have same car and wondering if it would meet need, Car needs 5.9l oil. Direct link for one litre oil?

Is this classed as low saps so it can be used in a Nissan quashqai 1.5deisal 63reg?

Correct.

Thanks to the poster that provided the link to the shell website. for my Lexus IS250 petrol it states the recommended oils is the Helix AG. the discount still works taking £3.30 off the price,

thanks to the OP and all that have contributed

Nearly jumped on this until I realised this is not fully synthetic. Be careful.

No, its the wrong spec. Cancel your order prompto.

No. You need AV-L spec.

Who is that resident spoon feeder anyway? :smiley: So I can ask him as I am not good at finding these..

You can either go to ECP's website and enter your reg and then select oils or you can look back though the posts for this deal and follow the Shell LubeMatch link, which someone posted in response to a similar question to yours.

Edit: Or it seems you can just let our resident spoon feeder do the work for you.

I would not buy this oil for your car, Shell website show this:
http://lubematch.shell.co.uk/gb/en_GB/equipment/passat_cc_gt_2_0_tdi_cr_dsg_qg1_cbbb_125kw_EFt8PiRXi

Do you know if this oil works for VW passat 2.0 diesel engine please?

I cannot find where it is they spoke about VW passat. Can you answer please or show me where to find the answer.

Can someone answer please?

Corsa 1.2 2003 engine Z12XE

As his question has already been answered you shouldn't encourage him by offering him spoon feeding.

Ordered some of the 5W40 and checked on shell web site it is fully synthetic. http://www.shell.com/motorist/oils-lubricants/helix-for-cars/helix-fully-synthetic/shell-helix-ultra-5w-40.html

Please advice it will work on corsa

Is it ok for Vauxhall corsa...can anybody help

Just ordered, discount is not £3, it's £2 so £17.99, but still a good deAl

This is correct, car engine oil is supposed to have a shelf life of 2-3 years.


Your question has already been answered and if you had bothered to look before posting you'd seen it.

Can someone please advise if this will work on my Passat CC 2.0 automtica Diesel engine? My reg: KN09 YYL ..

I have just purchased it and now am worried if this would work :disappointed: PLEASE HELP..

I also contacted Customer Services and if its any help to anyone they confirmed that this is Fully Synthetic. I also checked with them if it was suitable for my Lexus IS200 and they stated that 5w 40 not this 5w 30 was the correct grade for my car.
I have always used 5w 30 in my Lexus since I have had it 11years ago and it has now done 85,000+ miles and the car runs as sweet as a nut (does not require any top up oil between services) and has just passed its MOT emission tests with flying colours yesterday so I will keep on using/putting 5w 30 in it.
I think the reason that they state 5w 40 is the correct grade now (was 5w 30 when it was new) is that as the car is 12 years old and a slighty thicker engine oil at engine running temperature (the grade 40) would help if the cars internals were worn due to high mileages ( based on 12,000 average yearly mileage my car should now show 132,000 on the mileometer) and as a consequence the combination of a thinner oil and worn internals would mean it would tend to burn oil and need topping up regularly........so putting thicker grade 40 oil in it would tend to stop this happening.

This is a slippery deal

Can i put this in a type R Honda?
If i don't ask oil never know.

I think you know what he was saying and it's not rocket science is it, trade or not, as long as one can read, but sites like Halfords and ECP that check on Reg are not always correct, according to them our car needs Fully Synthetic when it doesn't, so if you have no experience whatsoever then you just think you are buying the right oil when you might not be, maybe if the 'Trade' was more honest instead of just trying to sell the most expensive, it would stop all the errors but obviously it won't stop the human error....no common sense.

Amazing deal. Shame they don't have A5/B5 at this price

Very very hot!

Picked my 2 up & they are the same as advertised.

£19.99 now.

CarParts4Less is there sister site.

For the the C1 they used 5w40 in the original, the same in facelift2 and moved to 5w30 for the third of the old model. The new one uses 0w20 in the Toyota engined 1.0 and 5w30 in the PSA 1.2 unit.

But if you look in the handbook it will pretty much accept anything!

Ours has over 100k on it now and inside the engine looks like new. Been using she'll ultra 5w40 for the last 4 services, before used edge. I would rate it better than edge.
If you have any other c1 questions head over to C1oc, nice bunch over there (although not as busy in recent times) :smiley:

I cannot believe how cheap this is! I use this in my VXR and it's great. Very high quality. I paid £25 for mine a few months ago. Does anyone know how long this will last for if kept sealed? I'm guessing years? Tempted to buy it now for my service next September!

hmmmm! does that mean it won't be suitable for my Nissan Qashqai 2.0 diesel car

I own a Hyundai car which takes 3.5 litres of oil for an oil change, Hyundai’s 5 year warranty is so complicated that you have to go to a Hyundai dealership to meet warranty requirements.
Arnold Clark Hyundai, service charge is £42 for the oil for my car which is this Shell helix, I can buy another brand of oil with exactly the same specification for £15 for 5 litres and I can supply my own oil for the service saving well over £25.
As the main dealerships are buying oil in 50 Gallon drums I wonder what their profit margin is on the oil ???

Why does the different 'subtypes' of oil make it so confusing, I have a 09 Citroen C1 petrol, the 'lubematch' website says I need the Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40, but searching the Toyota Aygo which is exactly the same car and engine says I need Shell Helix Ultra Professional AG 5W-30 (specifically the "AG" version) because the car has a Japanese/Toyota engine I'm tempted to say the Toyota oil would be correct and that the 'lubematch' website is classifying the oil on location/brand than actually matching the oil with the car and engine?

The Peugeot 107 (exactly the same car again) also says Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40

Or in the grand scheme is the difference not likely to matter?

don't forget the Xmas code

Really good price, shame the one I need for my car is still £46 for 5 litres.

Purchased but unfortunately didn't realise not very suitable for diesels with dpf!

Please guys is this oil suitable for my Nissan Qashqai 2.0 diesel car

Could any one specify for FORD FOCUS petrol 2001 car?

On euro car parts, both shell ultra professionals and HX7 Professional receommended

Confused which one is correct.

Thanks in advance

Purch

hi all, WOW! lots of info, but i don't really know what it means. i drive a 2006 lexus IS250 petrol. the hand book says the following under oil type: 5w30 API grade SL, SM or ILAC. how would i know if this is suitable for me?

thanks in advance

Excellent deal !! Heat added - purchased 4 of these are they are perfect for mine and my wifes car, will last ages. Bought the same oil in the summer for £45 each, and now got 2 for less than half price, so invested in 4 of these. Also found a promo code on the net ... POLICE5 - which will give you 5-10% off your order ;-) Enjoy !!

use code Power10 for 10% off & free power bank order over £30

Been using this oil(Ford spec) before in my Mazda - recommended by Motul, Opieoils shows the same:
https://www.motul.com/gb/en/products/oils-lubricants/8100-eco-nergy-5w30
This post is for Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF 5W-30 which has the same spec ...never been using semi oil in my car - specially that has only 60k on the clock

Cheers OP, ordered 10 litres of ultra 5w-40 for £34! Seriously cheap.

hmmm ,,, I may just pop down the road tomorrow and asked to see it, before purchasing

I'm collecting mine tomorrow so will soon know what is supplied.

Pav
I don't know if Ford is suitable for your car. I think it more likely to be a C2 or C3. Some at this age will still take semi, yours may, although I wouldn't use it. A couple of good sites to check are http://petronas-fluidtech.lubricantadvisor.com/Default.aspx?lang=eng&cat=1
or
http://www.valvolineeurope.com/manager/modules/parts/english/lubricant_advisor

Looks like Mazda takes Ford spec oil... used to buy Motul with Ford spec before for same car - 2007 Mazda 3 1.6

Yes new ones do. Our Mazda 6 takes C1 (expensive). But I think older ones (from the Ford era) will take Ford spec oil.

I bought this exact advertised oil around 6 months ago from carparts4less, this is what I got sent .

Shell HX7 5w30

This is A1/B1, which is a fairly low spec oil , and not the much higher spec A5/B5 spec oil ,,, that of Helix Ultra 5w30

Taken from Eurocarparts page specs , which match perfectly with the one I bought 6 months ago, which incidentally is still in the corner of my garage, and will stay there , unless someone wants to make me an offer for it , cos it aint going in my car !!
• Specifications:
• ACEA A1,B1
• API SJ,GF2
• FORD M2C-913A/B

lol @ all the comments on here with the so-called oil specialists...
Most of you drive Fiestas not McLarens

I know RX7s take Ford, but I thought most Mazda's took C1, C2 or the odd C3 or GM.

Great spot, ordered 2 for future use.

Cheers!

Listing says "SHELL Helix Ultra Professional AF 5W30 Engine Oil 5 L" so you are getting fully synthetic oil

He can't as you well know. He has gone by the specs listed on the site you posted. If they (ECP) have the wrong spec and you didn't notice and post in the OP its not Bigbil's fault so there is no point in having a go at him! :confused:

Then show me "SHELL Helix Ultra Professional AF 5W30 Engine Oil 5 L" which is semi please !... and yes, this is Ford spec - I'm using this oil in my Mazda 3(also recommended)... AG version is GM spec

so being a neutral here,
I have to say that the engine oil specs between this page:

http://www.shell.co.uk/motorist/oils-lubricants/helix-for-cars/helix-fully-synthetic/shell-helix-ultra-professional-af-5w-30.html

and this page:

http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/p/car-accessories/engine-oils-and-car-fluids/engineoils/5w30-engine-oil/?521772611&0&1&cc5_247%5Ecc5_1053%5E

are different! I think it isn't fully synthetic

OK, the specs are wrong, but the description is of fully synthetic oil. So if the wrong one comes it can be sent back.

lol,, this old chestnut again !! pops up every 6 months or so, either from Eurocarparts or carparts4less , ( same company) !!

All I will say is , check what your actually buying here :wink:

so considering the dispute on here on whether this is fully synthetic oil or not, if this is actually fully synthetic could this be a price error?

On the face of it, this is a good deal but only if this oil is 100% fully synthetic!

How am I talking ****? The specs given are definitely semi. It's Euro that are wrong with both sets of spec. The current Ford spec is D and it should be A5/B5. By the way this is really for Fords as it has the opposite film strength that most cars require.

Jeeeeze some people are so thick! :smiley:

Because there is no Helix Ultra which is semi:)...

HX7 is semi... Helix Ultra Professional is fully synthetic, so don't talk b......t mate. I used to buy this oil for 2 of my cars at them. Eurocarparts are probably not the best with proper description. Better look at oil manufacture's website for right oil for your car...

Be obtainable at this price from Euro on and off for a long time now, last one was the Black Friday thingy when I stocked up.

Yes it seems Eurocarparts have the wrong description listed. You are correct in what you are saying (sort of). Technically fully synthetic would massively surpass A1, B1 and API SJ, but you could label it as surpassing those. Not that anybody ever would.

Shell's Helix ultra range has always been fully synthetic (entire range). Just the new ones are gas derived rather than crude derived. The easy way to tell the new ones is look for "Shell PurePlus Technology" on the front rather than "active cleansing technology"

It's definitely semi going by the specs. Not having a dig at the post, but concerned that people could put the wrong oil in their cars. Fully in Ford would be C or D.

£16.78 at carpartsforless http://www.carparts4less.co.uk/cp4l/c/Nissan_Qashqai_1.5_2007/p/car-parts/car-lubricants-and-car-fluids/lubricant-and-fluids/engine-oil/?521772231&1&6f93d1acdfb2c69953aef223d9586555cbb2f0bccc2efe72529be4699f97cca0dd094394ee9e7cfe259b1eceaa961e47a55b50075a7e65a66df09c30&000398

Hmmm interesting. I just checked the one I ordered a few months ago and it's different to this. It's the AG one here for £2 more, rather than this AF one.

Worth sticking your car reg in to double check it's the right oil for your car people.

Nope, wrong picture

That's the wrong picture and a completely different oil. The oil posted is 913 A & B which is the Ford Spec for semi. C & D are Fully. It is also A1/B1 which are the specs for older petrol/ diesel.

That's a completely different oil. The oil you have posted is 913 A & B which is the Ford Spec for semi. C & D are Fully. It is also A1/B1 which are the specs for older petrol/ diesel.

£16.99 for 5w-40 as well... after code:)

If you go to euro site and expand the picture it clearly states that its fully synthetic, however it also states its 4 litres not 5.

No it is fully synthetic (as far any other claiming to be fully synthetic).

This is from the old range. Its also Ford specific.
The standard (new) gas derived one is is £2 more.

10% Quidco - 3 Days only

Fully!

Amazing deal!

That's seriously cheap for a branded fully synthetic.

Even Opieoils (who are normally very cheap) are charging £41.95 for this size. It's difficult to understand why people are voting this cold.

It's a very slippery deal I say.... :stuck_out_tongue: I bought this for my jeep same price during Black Friday

Hot!!

Bought 2 and Heat added. Thanks

I cannot understand why this is so cold ? Its quite crude if you ask me :wink:

Great deal OP, heat added

without checking this is cheaper than ebay bulk buying barrel

Just ordered cheers

I probably wouldn't need the Professional oil. How much cheaper is the Amateur oil?
