Alternative engine oil option for C5 X7

Unread post by osx »

Would any of the following do?
Shell Helix Ultra Professional AF 5W-30
Shell Helix Ultra Professional AG 5W-30

I presume both are synthetic ones?

Yes both all fully synthetic. The F designates Ford approval and the the G is General Motors approval . These are the car manufacturers answer to being able to take your vehicle under warranty to a non specific dealership for servicing. Not using their oil spec gives them a get out clause.
