Engine Oil...

Hi all,

Thinking of changing from Shell Helix Ultra to something different and just want to see what oils people are using and how it has worked for them.

Thanks,

Im using NEO engine oil atm, 10W40 - so far I think its the best ive ever used, I came from using Motul 300V - its damn pricy (1x5L will cost you the same as 2x4L of 300V), but the car is as smooth as a dream and its still honey coloured after 3000ks. Supposedly you don't have to change this stuff until 10,000ks.. not that I'll be taking that chance, though.

NEO 10W40 is an excellent oil. I would reccomend it for sure! U pay for what u get...

As for waiting 10,000kms, I'd rather not but like u said it supposedly can.

After reading this magazine that put up all the expensive oils and all cheapo oils as in price range from $30 - $120+, the ones that were around $120+ rated the same as the Valvoline DuraBlend for 40 odd bucks... 10W-40 semi synthetic, I think fully synthetic are more for higher performance engines... i'm still a newbie but just going by what i've been told by tuners and people with first hand experience... i'm using it at the moment and its very good for its price but my motor isn't heavily modified everyone will be different i suppose.
