Hi All
I am looking for oil for my Polo TDi's next service and I cannot find it anywhere in Pretoria.
The full name is:
Shell_Helix_Diesel_HX7_AV_5W-30_(SL_CF_A3_B4_VW_505.01)
Can anyone assist?
Thank you
Arno007

I found it at Pick n Pay Hyper in Greenstone, but any 505.01 rated oil that can be found at VW or Goldwagen will do to.

Good to know. I prefer that particular oil for my car as well.MeanTdi wrote:I found it at Pick n Pay Hyper in Greenstone, but any 505.01 rated oil that can be found at VW or Goldwagen will do to.
Especially for the looks on the pumpjockeys' faces when I put it in while they're filling up with 95.

Thank you to all you helpful people. I have not seen anyone talk about 5-liter or 20-liter sizes. Is that because it just is not available at all?

Re: Where can one buy Shell_Helix_Diesel_HX7_AV ?
that is correct, i found Midas sells at R90 per L and i have one in my car at all times, somehow one day the level will be fine, the next you get the oil warning light.1.9TurboVw wrote:Only 1L's budArno007 wrote:Thank you to all you helpful people.

505.01 spec oil.
when you buy, get a few, not many places have it, also Total has the same spec oil if you dont come right.
