Brother,
shell hx7 is 5-30 and believe me its really not good oil for your new car.
Mostly we get our engine oil recommendations from our mechanics and these mechanics do not know even how to read english. Hope you know what i mean here.
Now, if you really love your car, then my suggestions are as follows.
Performa super synthetic 5/30
this oil is nearly rs. 1100/L, but if i have new GLI as yours, then i would surely go for this oil for sure.
change it after 10k for sure even in pak.
or
ZIC XQ 5/40
This is pretty expensive (4L cost approx. Rs. 4200) but this oil is highly recommended for new engines like yours.
Change it after 8k in pak.
or
ZIC OW 5/30
pretty good oil for new engines too.
Cost nearly 3000/4L
change it after 5k is better.
or
Performa fully synthetic 5/40
cost nearly 3100/4L
change it after 5k in Pak.
(presently i am using this oil and i really love it. Its so suitable for my passo)
Or
Toyota's Tin pack 10/30 made in japan
cost 2600/4L
change it after 4~5k depending upon oil condition.
Or
toyota's tin pack 10/30 made in japan
multigrade (useable for both gasoline n diesel engines)
cost 3100/4L
BUT FRANKLY I DONT LIKE THIS OIL PARTICULARLY.
Now decision n choice is yours.
Please please please never use local high grade oils like shell, toyota, total, pso, caltex etc. also zippex, sinopec, kixx, s-oil, etc.
All these oils are rubbish. But mind set of our people is almost impossible to change. But i am trying my best to spread the awareness.
