Hey guys, I noticed Shell Helix Ultra is seldom discussed here. I'm just wondering whats the difference between the 2 besides one being SP and the other SN.
I've personally used both, Shell Helix Ultra 5w40 (SP) version and M1 0w40 FS. I'm going for my next oil change and the place where I usually get my M1 is out of stock. Most probably due to supply chain issues.
Additional info, here's my Oil Pressure reading (off my gauge) (fully warmed with 30mins of driving at least) for both oils.
M1= 10-12psi
SHU= 12-14ps
Idle is very slightly above the 1000rpm mark.
With the M1, I actually noticed my oil goes up to temp faster ever so slightly. And stays at ~85-95c. Usually driven in heavy traffic conditions.
I'll also throw this bit out, my engine is a Proton Campro 1.6L built with slightly higher compression pistons if that helps.
If you guys can throw in any oil recommendations that'll help plenty. As of now, I'm defaulting to SHU or Petronas Syntium as it's pretty common where I'm from.
Thanks guys.
