Shell Helix Extra 5W-30 API SP Fully Synthetic Oil for Petrol, Diesel & CNG Cars (3.5L), Enhanced Efficiency with Anti friction Technology

This engine oil is really perfect. My Wagon R VXI AGS became very quiet that I don't even know that the car is running or not. Vibrations completely gone. Idling improved. Smooth working. It is value for money product. Gear shifting actually uses AMT Actuator Fluid, but still it is way better than before. Check out the video of filling the oil. And photo of the old drained engine oil. You will see the difference in color. It was completely sealed packed. Thanks. Recommending this oil if you are doing service in a budget.

Overall refinement is good after using for over month now. Car smooth is good but doubt on whether it is fully synthetic or not...

Super product genuine

Value for money

Good product

My Chevrolet spark is giving me low mileage, and the temperature bar goes up to four, which is not abnormal but I remember seeing it mostly on 3 bars. Hence even though I've not really used the car more than 1300km after last oil change I decided to change the oil, plus the suspicion of the local mechanic putting cheap oil for something else was strong since the engine runs with some harshness, that I've felt. Since I use fully synthetic oil for my CBR 250r , I do had a good knowledge about Engine oils and what should I get if I'm looking after the best of oils. I began the research and finally decided on Shell Helix H8 5w-30 fully synthetic oil. I was happy when product arrived and I've decided to do the oil change myself this time. No more local mechanic for something simple as this. But I was put on test when I was trying to loosen the drain bolt and the oil filter. The local mechanic have over tightened it by to the moon and back. But I didn't give up and finally used some wd 40 on the bolt and used all my strength I can have with my hand laying under the spark with very minimal distance for any movement and Tada !!! Finally I've won over the local mechanic, the bolt is loosened and the black fluid started to drip and surprisingly there was few bits of rust too! 😪, Second thing was removing the engine oil filter, an over tightened oil filter deservers a stab in it's heart with a screw driver, then you twist it, so you get more power for to twist, and it worked. Thanks to people who put diy videos like this. Finally it's time! To put the expensive engine oil I brought for around 1900₹! With excitement, I filled the engine belly with 2.5 liters of oil. That much oil was enough for my Chevrolet Spark which recommended about 3.2 liters of engine said the oil without any hesitance. I think some of old oil might still be inside of maybe I've to run the car for a while and ask the dipstick again and this time I got around 8/10 over the min to full scale on dipstick, which means I have to put around 700 milli leters of oil in again. Which I've not put yet. Now the ride! The engine was noticibly calmer, but I think it's not for everyone to detect, I've a keen mind to observe and feel the vibrations of the people of things I'm surrounded with. And I think if you're one of those people, you'll like the vibrations you feel now. The gear shift was also , say a 1.4 times better. The driving smoothness is atleast 1.6 times better. The temperature have gone down to 3 bars and it takes a good time for it to reach 3 bars. It's hard to give out a all out professional review but here's a layman's review on this oil. I'm satisfied with this product but it's my first time trying out all this with a car , hence I don't have much to compare other than the old oil. Which is likely a cheap mineral oil. Plus I've seen a lot of people recommend to use mineral oil and do oil changes more frequently than using expensive synthetic oil and doing the oil change a lot later. Do I guess finally it's your choice 🙂 , atleast this won't be your last oil change. Ps : will update the review and add more details about mileage, long distance driving, etc Good day!❤️

Good
