Any feedback on this Total fully synthetic for diesel?

My manual says I can use API Service SJ or above, ACEA A3 or above for drain or refill of engine oil.
I have some questions:For better fuel economy, it is recommended to use the engine oil of a viscosity grade SAE 0W-40, 5W-30, 5W-40 (API Service SL or above, ACEA A3 or above).
1. That means I can use Shell Helix Ultra right?
2. As I understand, 0W-40 would provide better fuel economy over 5W-40, did I understand this correctly?
3. If the above is affirmation, any good oil recommendation for 0W-40?
API SJ is really old, i'm guessing your vehicle is at least 10yrs old? what is the vehicle?
The latest is API-SN. most oils ie API-SN, API-SM, API-SL will work great on your vehicle.
1. yes, you can use shell helix ultra "for gasoline" engines be it 5w30 or 5w40/0w40.
2. 0w40 oils does have an fc advantage over their 5w40 counterparts, this is less than 1% though. 0w40 oils have slightly lower viscosities than their 5w40 counterparts be it castrol/mobil1/shell. in bitog forums, we consider 0w40 as thick xw30s
if your vehicle calls for 5w30, use 5w30, it will have better fc than any 0w40/5w40.
3. 0w40 list: Castrol edge FST, shell helix ultra, mobil1, zic x9
I think the manual is old material or just playing safe with wording. My vehicle is perhaps the cutest size here in tsikot - Hyudai Eon GLS.
Thanks for this sir. I think I'll switch to Shell Helix as it has positive reviews in this thread. Currently, I am using Mobil1.1. yes, you can use shell helix ultra "for gasoline" engines be it 5w30 or 5w40/0w40.
