MAC 1 Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 Now you tell me why shell oil is better for my Z than Castrol RS 10/60:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Nelson MainFella Posted May 27, 2003 Share Posted May 27, 2003 I'm afraid I am not in a position to say either is better. All I can tell u is that both are probably very good oils (Shell Helix Ultra is definitely) as I think they are both fully synth and have high additive treat rates. I have been told that in comparative tests, Shell Helix Ultra came out the overall best, even tho' some other oils (perhaps Castrol R/s/Mobil 1 etc.) were better in certain properties/tests. So either is very good, Shell MAY be better. HTH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyP Posted May 28, 2003 Share Posted May 28, 2003 I had a dirty great magnet stuck to my oil filter for a while but it fell off eventually. Did cut open an old oil filter to see if it caught anything, but found nothing at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
