I use that stuff in the missus' car - I was partly sold by the 'process [that] converts natural gas into a crystal-clear base oil with virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil', which sounds all very clever.

Seems alright - runs smoothly, doesn't really burn any off, hasn't gone filthy black very quickly - the latter two of which may well be more down to the engine anyway...

Either way, under a score for 5 litres of Shell fully synth can't really be argued with, cheers for posting!
