Thanks for the insight everyone!

Dropped some Helix Ultra 5w30 for now as i had it in the shed, LL04 for next change then?

Shell Helix Ultra is excellent choice. It runs super clean. No need for LL04.
Their Helix Ultra 5W40 Pure Plus is premier product. Personally, I would run that.

I've had good luck with it, was just a bit uncertain especially when people run 0w-20 in these B48's...
