Shell Oil for a 200tdi
Great, back into a country with a fuller range of oils and brands, so looking to stock up for the next few oil changes.
I've always used Shell, or Total when forced to in Africa. I've usually thrown in what looks best engine oil wise, but would like to match the specs of my engine to the oil I'm throwing in just to be sure I'm doing the best I can by the old girl...
Assuming Shell Spirax EP90 is fine for my 2008 Transfer box, TD5 front axle and 300 TDI rear axle?
Question, what Shell oil should I be using in my 200 TDI Defender Engine?
Shell says:
"Premium Helix HX7 10W-40 (g) 6.8
Standard Helix HX5 15W-40"
Shell LubeMatch - Products & Services
But HX7 is Synthetic which isn't good for an old 200TDi engine I believe?
So Helix HX5 is?

Rimula for trucks and HD engines wouldn't be better??
