Description

Shell Helix Ultra Professional AV-L 0W-30 is a fully synthetic oil from the Helix Ultra Professional line, low in sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur. It is intended for VW group and Porsche petrol and diesel engines with extended drain intervals.

The oil is rated ACEA C3 and holds official VW 504.00, VW 507.00 and Porsche C30 approvals.

Typical figures: 11.90 mm²/s at 100 °C, 58.70 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 204, pour point -51 °C, flash point 226 °C.

Application

VW group and Porsche petrol and diesel engines for which the manufacturer requires VW 504.00/507.00 or Porsche C30.

Worth knowing

By the table of typical figures this oil matches Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30: both kinematic viscosities, the viscosity index, the pour point and the flash point are the same. The lists of codes differ. Everything listed here is listed there too, and the ECT adds ACEA C2, API SP, the MB 229.31, MB 229.51 and MB 229.52 approvals, and compliance with Fiat 9.55535-DS1 and Fiat 9.55535-GS1.

The AV-L designation is given to two more oils in the Helix Ultra Professional line, and the match is not complete. AV-L 5W-30 has the same pair, VW 504.00 and VW 507.00, and the C3 class, but it is a different viscosity grade and Porsche C30 is not in its list. AV-L 0W-20 belongs to a different series altogether: VW 508.00 and VW 509.00 with ACEA C5. As the article on VW, Audi, Seat and Skoda approvals explains, such oils must not go into engines that call for 504.00/507.00.

The data sheet gives one separate figure for fuel economy: the VW PV 1451 test requires a saving of at least 2.5 % against the VW reference oil, and according to Shell this oil achieved up to 3 %.
