Thread: HEY JC

Yes fine. The Shell Helix 5W40 is the factory favourite IIRC , but any full synthetic C* rated (diesel turbo engine) high quality 5W30/40 oil will be fine. You can use Penrite HPR5, also.

AFAIK even the new Def with the 2.2 has no DPF, so a low SAPS oil isn't even required.

Just looking at their site, Longlife III should be fine

JC,Shell is the oil dealers use?,when my Tdi was new it was Mobil and I changed to Penrite once the warranty ran out,I'd like to do the same with the TDCi,Penrite is my personal favourite oil. Pat

Hi pat,

AFAIK this is/ was correct, a Shell helix ultra 5w40 from memory. Personally, ANY 5w40 that I mentioned above would be suitable IMO.
I use Penrite too, a very good oil.
