Possible to get Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30 oil in US?

[vinu_neuro]

Just wondering if it's possible to get Shell Helix Ultra oils apart from Pennzoil 5W-40 in the US.

Its the same product no? Why worry about it?

The 5W-30 is a more moderate viscosity.

Ferrari dealers in the US used to carry it. Not sure if they still do, now that PU 5w-40 is available, which is basically the same thing.

To close off this thread, Shell dealer isn't able to get the 5W-30.

Oh, sorry, I misread the question.

I have been looking for Shell Helix Ultra in the past, and I don't believe anyone carries this anymore. From what has been said, SHU has been replaced with Pennzoil Ultra. PU 5W30 can be purchased from many retailers online. What car are you using this for?

 

[r34dy2fly]

Uh. They sell Pennzoil Ultra in 5W30 at just about any auto store now. Even Wally World carries it in 5 quart jugs. Actually just did an oil change with it the other day.

There are several varieties of Helix Ultra 5w30, IIRC.

Shell Helix Ultra serves 229.5/A40/LL-04/502/505. Pennzoil Ultra 5W-30 is the GF-5 oil.

Your looking for the PU Euro L 5W-30 with the 3.5cP HTHSV and 178 VI.
Yes it is available in the States.
I'd contact some of the Pennzoil wholesalers like the Oil Store. Or contact Pennzoil directly for a retailer.

No, Euro L is a low-SAPS oil.
