Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix HX7 Professional AV 5W-30 5L is a premium semi-synthetic engine oil built for high-performance gasoline and diesel engines, especially Audi and Volkswagen models. Its 5W-30 viscosity flows smoothly at cold starts down to -30°C for quick protection and stays strong up to 230°C to handle intense heat without breaking down.

This oil meets strict ACEA C3 and VW 502.00/505.01 specs, keeping pistons clean, reducing wear, and improving fuel economy by at least 2.5%. The 5-liter pack suits most cars for a full oil change, helping engines last longer with better soot control and deposit prevention.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in VW, Audi, or compatible high-performance engines requiring ACEA C3 approval. Perfect for daily drives or spirited performance where cleanliness and durability matter.

• Replace every 10,000-15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, to maintain peak protection.
• Shelf life is 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry.
• Ideal operating range: -30°C to 230°C.
