Shell Helix Oil? - OllieWestwood - 30-07-2013 03:14 PM

I'm due a service on the Corolla, oil is key with these cars/engines as all the failures seem to be through oil based problems so getting it right is key.

I've had Opie oils give me the correct viscosity recommendation so now I just need to choose my oil!

The Datsun has always had Fuchs Titan Race that is a option for the corolla in 5w-40 form but Opie currently have a cracking deal on the Shell Helix Ultra, has anyone used Shell in their car? Thoughts?

Never used shell but I want to try topping up with it next month if I can find some 10w-40 Semi Synth. Usually I use the Fuchs Titan or the Castrol magnatec thats always on offer at 5l for £20 at Halfrauds.
