Where can one buy Shell_Helix_Diesel_HX7_AV ?

Post by Arno007 »

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

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.

Especially for the looks on the pumpjockeys' faces when I put it in while they're filling up with 95.

Yes, but Pick n Pay at R98/L vs VW/GW at R77/L.

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?

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.

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.
