A. Shell Helix HX7 Professional AF 5W-30 is designed for the demanding requirements of high-performance engines, including Ford and those requiring API SJ, ILSAC GF-2 or ACEA A1/B1 specifications.
A. API and ACEA are the universal lubricant performance standards every reputable oil meets. They are your baseline check — match the code your handbook specifies (e.g., API CI-4 or ACEA E7 for heavy-duty diesel) and the oil is technically suitable for your machine. Every oil on our site lists its API and ACEA classifications.
A. Shell Helix HX7 Professional AF 5W-30 meets ACEA A1/B1 and API SJ.
A. Yes, Shell Helix HX7 Professional AF 5W-30 is approved against Ford engine oil specifications WSS-M2C913-A and WSS-M2C913-B.
A. Yes, Shell Helix HX7 Professional AF 5W-30 is suitable for both gasoline and diesel engines requiring the supported specifications.
A. No, ACEA A1/B1 is not a low-SAPS classification. For diesel engines fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF), a low-SAPS ACEA C-class oil is required — Shell Helix HX8 ECT 5W-30 C3 (PRD00004412 / PRD00004476) is the Shell selection for that application.
A. An OEM Specification is the lubricant requirement set by a vehicle or equipment manufacturer (e.g., MB 228.3, VW 504.00). When an oil lists the code, the oil manufacturer has developed and tested it to meet the criteria the equipment manufacturer requires. Match the code in your handbook and you have a lubricant engineered for your machine.
A. An OEM Approval means the oil has been formally tested and signed off by the equipment manufacturer and listed on their official approved-products register (e.g., MB-Approval 228.3). An Approval confirms the oil is recognised by the equipment manufacturer for service use in their machines.
