Oil

[Pavel Fizek]

Hello, recently i have ordered Shell Helix Ultra ECT 5W-30 oil for my 2.0 TDI (140hp) audi a3, but i think they messed up my order and i received Shell Helix Ultra ECT 0W-30. Is it save to use this oil? It still has VW 507 00 approval. Are there any downsides to using this oil ?

It may burn a bit more oil. Best to send it back to ECP or wherever you had it from.

They changed the grade on my S3 during the time I’ve had it and now use 0W when I would have thought for an older 2011 car, the 5W it was on would be better for it.

It will b e fine if it's VW 507 00 specification.
