I don;t think it is Dazz,I did also see the light grey bottles which stated clearly fully synthetic and that was horrendously expensive

Yeah the normal Helix should be ok for the petrol, but not the diesel i30...

Yes, I use the Shell Helix Ultra in the grey bottle.
Shell Helix Ultra Extra is not suitable for Hyundai diesels.

According to the labeling,suitable for all modern petrol and diesel engines also met the required ACEA spec's,I still won't be using it  :lol: I'll stick with my Penrite  :goodjob2:

Dave it is not Ultra it is HX7,just checked there web site it is listed under Semi Syn,but definitely suits diesels meets A3=B4 Spec,but still won't be using it  :rofl:

Yes it is, when you have the DPF. Have used it in mine and the engine runs very smooth on this oil..  :goodjob2:
