Description

Shell Helix Extra Professional AR-L RN17 5W-30 is a fully synthetic low-SAPS oil from the Helix Extra line for Renault petrol and diesel engines, including diesels with a particulate filter.

The oil is rated ACEA C3 and holds official Renault RN17 and MB 226.52 approvals. The same oil serves both the petrol and the diesel versions wherever RN17 is specified.

Typical figures: 12.4 mm²/s at 100 °C, 70.4 mm²/s at 40 °C, pour point -51 °C, flash point 220 °C.

Application

Petrol and diesel engines in Renault cars, diesels with a particulate filter included, where the manufacturer specifies an oil to RN17.

Worth knowing

Two 5W-30 oils in the Helix Extra Professional line carry the letters AR-L in the name, and the difference between them is not limited to the RN17 tag. Helix Extra Professional AR-L 5W-30 has ACEA C4, the Renault RN0720 and MB 226.51 approvals and Fiat 9.55535-S4 compliance, while this oil has ACEA C3, Renault RN17 and MB 226.52. Renault wrote the RN0720 standard for dCi diesels with a particulate filter and, as the article on which Renault and Dacia engines each RN standard is meant for explains, RN17 oil does not go into such engines. For models specified to RN0700 or RN0710, on the other hand, Renault accepts RN17 whatever viscosity the manual states, except in Renault Sport engines.

A full match on codes is found in another line: Helix Ultra Professional AR-L RN17 5W-30 has the same classes and approvals, and its data sheet gives the same 70.4 and 12.4 mm²/s at 40 and 100 °C, a pour point of -51 °C and a flash point of 220 °C. A viscosity index of 177 is stated only for the Ultra; this oil’s data sheet does not give one.
