Q8 F1 or IDEMITSU extreme (the one where the poster got S&M chick with a whip). 10w-50. Thick, difficult to burn off. but a bit heavy lar but as oil temp goes up it should improve.

I can get it directly from Shell, unlikely that they would sell the fake one right?
Get it form the Retail Station. Its genuine.

A lot of story out there saying, it's very hard to get original Shell Helix lubricant.

80% stocks in the market are all recycle/different brand lubricant with the packing of "NEW" Shell Helix bottle!
:bawling:
Buy at Retail Stations, dont buy it at spare parts shops. Its the original product.

So back to my question, is the genuine Helix good? Or Motul and other brands better?
Used helix ultra for my DC5 previously, not bad. However, my valve lifters slight tapping in the morning (not sure if it happens to other oil), engine is more silent and losses of oil when high revving is not that much. Used it for almost 8500km with 1 trackday then change it to Mobil 1. There was an occation where i topped up 1/4 of the 0.5 liter helix, which is very minimal.

Now using Mobil 1. Can feel very slight difference at first due to viscosity is lower than Helix Ultra, however its a 0W-40, my mechanic said it tends to evaporate / leak thru seals when high revving, but after one of the trackday, theres no loss at all... considering high revving at a very hot day & low viscosity oil.

I dont think they are that they have the guts to do so, as they are closely monitored. Further more u can report it if its fake and the penalty is totally not worth it for them to do it..:biggrin:
haha. well... either way... i'm never using Shell Helix ever after seeing all those fake labels in my friend's office. :biggrin::biggrin:
