Fiat seem to have stopped Petronas selling their approved oils where they want. Hence the price has shot up.
My euro5+ uses 5w30 and equivalent oils are hard to find. Shell helix used to have the fiat spec on it but now it doesn't. I presume Fiats work!
Personally it makes their vans less attractive if you can't get them serviced anywhere. Northern commercial are nolonger Fiat Professionals. I phoned a listed Fiat dealer and got some trade prices for oil £81.00, Air filter £39.00 oil filter £15 all plus vat and that's trade prices!
What equivalent oil have you found?

I have just used Shell Helix Ultra Pro AP-L 5W-30 fully synthetic ACEA C2PSA as the nearest I could find. Good price and next day delivery fro Smith and Allan. How times have changed since Duckhams 20/50. This oil is so slick, hard to grip anything with the slightest trace of oil on it. £30 for 5L delivered!

I use Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30. This meets the same ACEA C2 spec and Fiat 9.55535-GS1, 9.55535-DS1.
It is readily available.

+1 for Smith and Allan
They are top class oil sellers and mixers used by many classic car owners and professionals. My Volvo requires 0-20 (think milk consistency!) which Castrol Edge charge the earth for. S&A will do me the exact same spec in a 20ltr delivered for half the price of the Edge. 150k miles on engine still runs clean.
First class company.
