I have been using the Shell Helix Ultra from Tesco / Giant for the past 6 years on both my cars covering over 250K km combined.

No issues and I trust that Tesco will not jeopardize their own liability for selling fake products.

I myself bought a bottle to test it out on an old car one more time. Previously had used this before but within 5k km i actually got my mech to drain them all out and replace with LM 10w-30 Semi Sync.

I did pour out the oil from the bottle to have a look indeed it's darker than a normal. I would assume in EU they really do recycle their engine oil due to environmental reason. Let's see if it's really good as claimed by the fellow forumers here who have been using it for donkey years.

Are you suggesting it's the EU based oil are partly recycled oil ?

They do have strict rules in recycling of used oil, but not back into engine oil. It's recycle into many by-products such as bitumen / oil stock for industrial use.

Anyway, as anything goes , use at your own risk and more importantly doing a timely change of oil is better than using high grade oil but neglect changing it.
