ooh excellent, i am due an oil change will grab some instead of the castrol in the 4ltr non handy size. Any ideas on price?

Not sure how much yet, but if Shell petrol stations carry it, it will probably cheaper than the Castrol what with the lack of postage costs.
Remains to be seen, anyone filling up with Optimax today check out the oils spec/price!

Just had some put in my RS2 at last oil change service just before Xmas. The garage I use had just gone over to it from Castrol RS. Was charged about Â£78 for the service including oil, filter & labour etc.

I have used Helix RS to get me out of a fix, when i had lost oil through a turbo pipe not being tight enough, and it was fine. Cannot see a problem with using it full time as shell are one of the best research and developers with reguards oils. It should be good.

Mmmm, It may be semi-synthetic and/or in 4L + 1L containers

Need to confirm!

The shell helix i used was fully synthetic but i bought a 1 litre tub as i was low. But if it comes in 5 Litre tubs then i will have to try it in the coming few months when my service is due.

The one had put in my car is fully synth Helix Ultra see here

Doh, available in 4L, and 1L tubs, will have to get a price.

I haven't seen a 10W-60 Shell yet. It must be a novelty. With the synthetic 5W-40 Shell oil my oil pressure was 1 bar lower than RS CastrÃ¶l.

How much does it cost for a 4 litre castrol rs.
The cheapest I can find is Â£32 from this place.

The oil pressure in my RS2 seems to be holding up at present, but I will keep an eye on it

Castrol clasic oils do free delivery on any order over Â£30, so fine for us and quick too i've found.
