| ![]() @a4anurag; If the original fill is synth then might as well stick with it. This is what happened with my Civic. |

| ![]() A good indicator is whether this vehicle has a longer interval to the first change than the company norm! |

| ![]() The grade used is 5W40 on the swift and dzire while the ritz does not get 5W40 as per this cicular. http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/long-t...ml#post2680931 Ever since the circular, MSM chennai uses shell MGO semi synth for the mineral and Mobil1 or shell helix ultra 5W40 for synthetic. For the new swift and dzire all M.A.s.S uses synthetic by default unless we explicitly tell them mineral |

| ![]() Today I drove a 49000 km done swift VDI and was amazed with the smoothness of the engine, FYI I drive a 46000 km Dzire. On inquiring with the owner he tells me he used Mobil1 synthetic oil. I was truly impressed. Mobil 1 for my next oil change. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() My Hyundai Santro is due for Oil change, how good is Shell Helix HX7 10W40. The below posted shell websites mentions that " For gasoline, diesel and gas engines; also suitable for biodiesel and gasoline/ethanol blends" http://www.shell.com/ind/products-se...hx7-10w40.html Any user review, does it mean it can be used for petrol as well as diesel engine ? Should i go ahead with it ? Or some other recommendations ? |

| ![]() I'd think more than enough for a Santro, so you should go ahead with this. Other options in semi synthetic would be Total 7000, Castrol Magnatec, Mobil Super XHP (all 10W40). Can't go wrong with any of these for a Santro. |
