Didn't think that was any use in any of our engines. Unless someone knows different. I am willing to be proved wrong. |

The AG version as shown is Dexos 2 compliant for GM/Opel/Vauxhall cars. Very useful for those of us who also own Vauxhalls.

Isn't 10W/30 the wrong viscosity? Owners handbook page 143 says 10W/40 for petrol and diesels.
There's a Shell Helix HX7 10W/40 - blue can. https://www.google.co.uk/search?sour...=1565945380598 £17 inc p&p https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/23288023608...iABEgIJZ_D_BwE Last edited by Blink; 16th August 2019 at 08:58.. |

The 5W/30 Helix page (grey can) says ACEA C3; API SN
The 10W/40 Helix page (blue can) says ACEA A3/B3, A3/B4, JASO SG+ The handbook p143 says: Petrol engines 10W/40 ACEA A2 (ACEA A1 for 1.8 engine) Diesel engines 10W/40 or 15W/40 meeting both ACEA A3 and B3 Page 143 Last edited by Blink; 16th August 2019 at 09:30.. |

Which is why I said I didn't think it was any good for our cars. Probably great for some Vauxhalls. Last edited by tourer; 16th August 2019 at 09:46.. |

Yes, but my point was the 10W/40 isn't either - unless ACEA A3 spec exceeds ACEA A2, which I don't know.

HX7 it is then for me. ECP's £17 for 5L is a good price but it's even a tad cheaper here (inc p&p) - https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/302537159241 - just think what you can do with the 34p.
