Hello everyone,
I guess many of you have seen the advertisement from Shell that it started a revolution on the market of engine oils with it's GTL (gas to liquid) patented technology:

The Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus technology oils are on the market since 2014 I think. I am surprised that there are not so many reviews here about these oils. Did anyone tried them? Are these really good in terms of engine cleaning, TBN retention, wear protection, etc? Any difference when compared to previous generation of hydro cracked base oils?
It looks like these oils are categorized as group V by API standards and I am wondering why there is not so much info on them and if it is worth to try them?
In my country the prices for GTL based oils are either the same as for HC/VOLLESYNTHESE or cheaper, for example, for around 7 $ I can buy a liter of Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30 with GTL, and for around 10 $ I can buy Mobil 1 0W-40
