## Description

Shell Helix HX8 5W-30 API SN Plus Fully Synthetic Engine Oil for Petrol, Diesel & CNG Cars, Truck (4 L) : desertcart.in: Car & Motorbike

Review: Shell ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ proven quality, prestige, Authenand Championship Pedigree. - This is the first time I used Shell Helix HX8 5W-30 in my Toyota Yaris 1.5 G and the results have been excellent. The first thing I noticed right after switching to this oil was the remarkable buttery smoothness of the engine. The engine feels significantly more refined and responsive, especially during cold starts.I’ve observed a slight improvement in fuel economy over time. Throttle response has improved, and the car feels eager to accelerate without any harshness or hesitation. This oil also seems to help maintain consistent engine performance across a wide temperature range, giving me confidence whether it’s a hot summer day or a chilly morning. Used other brands like Castrol,Mobil, toyota genuine oil, But this is 100 times far better. Overall, I highly recommend Shell Helix HX8 5W-30 . It delivers a smoother, quieter, and more responsive driving experience
Review: A Request to Shell: Upgrading shell helix 5W 30 to API SP and C2 - I have used Shell Helix 5W-30 for second times till now, and I believe it is the best in its class. It makes the engine smooth, improves performance, and has low NVH, making it a good oil for long drives. However, I would like to request that Shell upgrade this oil to SP and C2 specifications. Many modern engines require this type of protection to give maximum performance. In other countries, this oil is sold with API SP and C2 technology, but in India, it is sold as SN Plus. Overall, it is a good oil for both old and new engines.
