Wrong engine oil?
« on: October 21, 2019, 09:42:46 am »
Ordered online  https://www.eurocarparts.com/en_ie/p/shell-helix-ultra-5w-40-5ltr-521772211
But what arrived was this https://www.eurocarparts.com/en_ie/p/shell-helix-hx8-ect-5w-40-5ltr-521773571
Besides the price is there much in the difference in quality thanks

TPS for quantum. 5L for less than £20  Often do an oil and filter deal for a little more :happy2: Even the dealers have good deals

Probably just a rebrand of the same stuff.  Both are VW502 approved so I wouldn't worry about it.

ASDA has an offer running now for Castrol Magnatec 5W30 A5 Oil 4 Litre for £20 (usually they're £35)
that's what VW recommends anyway so I would go with that before they're gone!
