Shell Helix Ultra Professional AG Engine Oil - 5W-30

Hi guys,

 

This oil is on offer at Euro Car Parts with Black Friday deal - is this the right oil for the zed and is it good quality?

I used a Blueprint filter (£2.50 from work) & this exact oil about 6 weeks ago. Z runs fine on it. Smooth & quiet from startup, dipstick is always a light golden colour. I paid around £16 incl delivery with a code from the internet .

 

Oil is a minefield, there's loads out there from this, to Motul at £40+.

That will be fine, i used std Helix semi synth in all my engines, including a 550BHP single turbo Supra.

Agreed, it's fine. You could do better, but you could do a lot worse.

Ordered two 5L bottles of this. It's 50% off on their website off all oils today if anyone needs to stock up

I'm due a service soon and tried digging about for thoughts on the Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 and came across this glamorous bit of advertising. 

 

What's been the general experience with Shell Helix Ultra? Anything you greybeards can comment on? I know this is a 350z thread but I guess it's synonymous with the 370Z.
