last time nag-change oil ako, I bought shell helix super, instead of Shell helix DIESEL super. nagmamadali kasi ako non kaya di ko na masyado napansin. buti na lang, biglang may nakita akong sign board ng Shell helix diesel. Stop agad ako sa nearest shell station at bili na naman ng tamang engine oil.
problem: pwede kaya yung Shell Helix Super sa diesel engine? i checked the rating and it's API CJ rated. CD 40 lang naman required ng makina ko. Kung di pwede, pwede kaya sa transmission ko na lang gamitin?
hay nakow. sayang din ... pang exchange gift ko na lang kaya? :D
i have used shell helix super many times on my 1999 frontier. it works very well with my 200k+ mileaged engine. i see no reason why it won't work that well with your rig too.

Dear Ronald,
Helix Super can also be used for AUV diesel engine because its rating is API SJ/CF.
Please see attached technical info for your reference.

kailangan ko nanaman helix super diesel due na naman ako for pms gastos na naman...........
Pwedeng-pwede po sir rsnald ang Shell Helix Super sa diesels since rated API SJ/CF ang rating niya. Pero syempre mas OK Shell Helix Diesel Super dahil CF/SJ naman siya. Hmmm... parang binaliktad lang di ba...
i remember when my pickup was they would use castrol i think same rating with the helix..ok lang yun sa oil na pang gas engine wag lang gasolina ang ikarga sa fuel tank..ehehe
Engine oils marketed for gas engines, but have CF or similar specs meant for diesel engines, are OK to put on a diesel engine for emergency use. Remember, great oil is better than acceptable oil. Acceptable is better than dirty oil. Dirty is better than no oil.
However, it will not do as good a job meant for diesel engines as there are not enough additives in it. Example, soot control is important for diesels, as well as resistance to acidity.
