    Continental PremiumContact

    Does anyone have any experience with these tyres ? I have read the reviews over at Tyre/Tire Rack, and they seem less than complimentary, the main issues/complaints seem to be soft sidewalls and poor wheel balance. Any other experiences would be appreciated.

    I just find this chart for REAL synthetic

    Shell Helix Ultra = XHVI/PAO blend Castrol Formula RS 0W-40 IS a real PAO synth. It's labeled as such on the German Castrol website, and they're not allowed to call group 3s full synthetic in Europe. Castrol SLX / GC should also be added to the list.

    Shell Helix Ultra 5w40

    I asked the Shell Tech Department if Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 is a Group 3 or Group 4 oil. I got the following response : Chris, Helix 5W/40 is a Group 5 oil. Non PAO. Regards [email protected] That's interesting, I thought Motul 8100 / 300V was the only full Group 5 Ester based synthetic ?
