    That's what I plan to do. Stock up on genuine filters then have my oil changed at Shell. I don't trust the Vic filters they use for their oil changes.

    I can't find Helix 5w-30 in Shell stations around us. Any luck on your end?

    Nada. 5w30 is available on Shell's Lazada store though. I sent them a message asking for its availability in their oil change stations. Will update as soon as I get a reply.

    Same at my area, only Helix 10W is available.

    So someone might have hoarded these 5w30 and selling these online? [emoji15]

    Pilipinas Shell sells them on their official Lazada store. There might not be a big enough demand to justify keeping it stocked in all their shops.

    How about Motul or Liqui Moly? Are these brands ok too and significantly better than Shell's?

    If they meet or exceed the minimum rating required by Mazda then they should be ok.
