Alpha 2nd Gear November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 why is it not suitable? not smooth, i am driving auto sunny. it will drag RPM high when low speed before changing to next gear ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jtb 6th Gear November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 I agree. Its not only Giant that sells Shell Helix Ultra 5w-40 at this offer price. NTUC and Big Box have been selling the same product at similar prices for quite some time! I'm pretty sure they arent stupid enough to sell fake eo and risk being sued by Shell. If they are not genuine Shell products, they would have been taken off the shelves a long time ago. Clearly its a condition of your engine that requires a weekly topping up of your engine oil. SA was told that stock usually come with a sealed foil inside after you open the cover and should be lighter in color. $120 has a sealed foil.

Spinelli_ck 6th Gear November 27, 2015 Share November 27, 2015 not smooth, i am driving auto sunny. it will drag RPM high when low speed before changing to next gear you should use a w30 oil then. to allow the auto transmission to upshift quickly to the next higher gear, ease off the accelerator pedal for a brief moment before stepping on it again.

ER-3682 Twincharged November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 yes experiencing better upshift after changed to Mobil 1. Gearbox & engine are separate unit,i don't understand anything about engine oil can affect the tranmission upshift. ..Engine oil will only affect like roughness,noise,power[not really very much] & economy of the engine....

Perhaps engine and gearbox are sharing the oil? just like shampoo and conditioner, 2 in 1..... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, engine oil can affect the temperature of the engine. The AT gearbox is connected to the engine. Perhaps the change in temperature of the ATF affects the transmission shifting.

Possible. If the viscosity of the oil is higher, there will higher parasitic losses/drags. The driver needs to step the accelerator more to compensate it, by doing so, the transmission will react accordingly/differently. Having said that, I like the NTUC Shell Helix so much till I stocked up five 4L bottles at home, enough for the coming few years. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kklee 6th Gear November 28, 2015 Share November 28, 2015 The most is 3-5c,won't affect so much... Long term effect. Temp increase, ATF oxidises. Lubrication decreases. Heat removal decrease. Heat increase. Cycle Repeats. Been there.... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha 2nd Gear November 29, 2015 Share November 29, 2015 thanks all for the input, i guess need to be more specific, my ride is left with 1.5years. so EO somehow affects my ride. plus i guess its time to change the gearbox oil/transmission fluid too. bought my ride around 10,000+km and now already 40,000+km, havent changed it before.
