Shell Helix Ultra AB 5w30

[Vincenzo_f]

I just discovered this oil:

Shell Helix Ultra AB 5w30
API SH/CF
ACEA A3/B3/B4
Mercedes Benz MB 229.5

Vc40°C mm2/s 64,7
Vc100°C mm2/s 11,4
VI 173

I find this oil very interesting.
This is the first 5w30 fully synthetic with Acea A3/B4 spec and high and VI > 165 I've ever seen.
Exact HTHS value is unknow.

Technical pdf.

This was the factory fill in Dr. Haas's Maybach 57S. It's also the factory fill in several Ferrari models.

Along the same lines as Castrol 0w-30. Slightly higher VI, slight thinner maybe. These oils are very interesting for euro car owners.

Isn't SH a 1990's specification?
