Detergents content here such as Calcium are medium and no Magnesium or other detergent, therfore the Total Base Number TBN cannot be 10 as the laboratory said in the kixx oil analysis.

New Shell Helix Ultra SP with pureplus technology & Dexos1 Gen3 approval. Location: Middle East Saudi Arabia

Fuchs Titan 5W-30 D1 with the new packaging & labeling + new Dexos1 Gen3

After 2 years from starting this topic, Shell Saudi brought back the PurePlus technology and upgraded the specs to API SP

Ca 1690 ppm, TBN 10

In ACEA E4 the base number must be 12 or higher, here the TBN is 11.85 (almost 12) in ASTM D-2896 method, so the base number requirement in E4 is satisfied in my opinion

Mymessengers Thanks a lot

Mymessengers Could you please tell me who? Thanks in advance

Is there any representative to S-Oil here in this forum?

Amsoil_Penrite It turned out to be a misprint , thank you for your reply hope you have a nice day.

Did the answer from Technical Support came like this "misprint" ?

Amsoil_Penrite Ok take your time Your efforts are appreciated.

Amsoil_Penrite Is this just a typoo mistake or is that Amsoil is already prepared for the upcoming ACEA ratings? Look at the black arrow pointing out to A4/B4

IliaP. Fuchs titan supersyn D1 -among other products of Fuchs- it self conciderd a local product, since it made -the oil- by a local company called ALHAMRANI "The Alhamrani Fuchs Petroleum Company is one of the group companies, a joint venture established in 1995 between the German Fuchs Petroleum Company and the Alhamrani Group of Companies" So yeah eventually I'm using a local product.

a-ha Yes indeed, affordable price for a high quality oil.

This analysis carried out when the oil was SN-RC, after 1st January of 2020 (I guess) it's specification had become to API SN+.

Last time when I purchased Fuchs titan supersyn D1 here in Saudi Arabia it was for a 16.6 SAR for a canister with 1 liter if we convert it to Russian Ruble it will be equivalent to 325.6 RUB.

Itseasy You are welcome. Yes sure, it's blended by a third party.

Itseasy Here is the back label. It is written made in UAE United Arab Emirates.

I'm aware of it.

torcon It's written in the MSDS smells slightly Hydrocarbons, I don't know about your gasoline but here shell helix often smells like gasoline.

Obviously there a mistake in the oil, Suarez is not any more in Barcelona

Did anyone do a smell test? Does the oil smells slightly like gasoline/petrol?

Itseasy It's in a retail store in Saudi Arabia

konung I think I understood your point, I've looked in google what's the "Samovar" is and I found some interesting pictures. It's good to know more about Russian culture. .. As for Lukoil in Saudi Arabia, actually one of our fellows found a bottle of Lukoil Genesis Claritech dexos 2 for a pretty good price. I hope they spread thier business in the region.
