Yeah, that GTL base seems really good.
I should have some new GTL Shell Helix Ultra in my car in the next week or two.
OK, I did it !!
I now have GTL Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 in my car. With a New filter of course.
I feel good.

I've bought the old stuff! Several jugs.
Hey but can't complain at the price of 16.50 for 5 litres.
ok it's not the GTL but still better than the Triple QX I'm sure. Not even data sheets for that from EuroCarParts

6 quarts ordered.I guess Shops are trying to clear the old stock of Helix Ultra with Active Cleaning Technology.
Old: 17-20 GBP x 5 litres (EuroCarParts)
New GTL: 35 GBP x 5 litres (amazon)

My mistake!
All 4 of my 5 litre jugs say 'PurePlus' on them with the new logo!!
20 litres for less than 68 GBP.

Good news Brit33, nothing wrong with the old stuff - it's good oil, but the party is definitely happening in the GTL part of the house.

Happy Birthday Zoli !!
Group III+, GTL (gas to liquid process).
Only Ultra range is GTL. HX8 synthetics is HC Group III (maybe even similar to old Ultra range).
HX7 and lower products are either mineral or semisynthetic regardless of SAE grades.

Even HX7 is Hc syntese...At least in 10w40 And 5w40 grades...(blue bottles And jugs)
8 was always wondering What is difference between ultra And HX8...probably Just ultra repacked for different market?

HX8 ie old XHVI base oil, like old Ultra I believe.
