Benefits of Shell Helix Fully Synthetic Motor Oil

Engine stress

Engine stress and wear protection

No matter what the drive, Shell Helix Ultra provides superior protection against engine stress and wear and because Shell Helix Ultra is a modern synthetic made from natural gas; it’s stronger and less volatile at the molecular level than those made from traditional crude. It stays stronger for longer to provide superior protection against wear, up to 32% better resistance to oil degradation than the latest industry standard* and up to 50% less evaporation to help keep your passion for driving alive.

*Compared with API SN specification

Extreme temperature protection

Extreme temperature performance

Whether it’s 1000 degrees or -40C below, Shell Helix Ultra is designed for extreme temperatures.

Extreme Heat: Engines can reach extreme temperatures within a few minutes. Oil is lubricating the turbocharger which operates at temperatures up to 1,000°C. High-temperature oxidation can damage molecules, causing the oil to thicken, and reduces its ability to protect the engine. Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology stays stronger for longer in extreme high temperatures to keep performing and protecting the engine. It provides up to 32% better resistance to oil degradation than the latest industry standard*

Extreme Cold: Superior low temperature flow even at -40 degrees. Shell Helix Ultra, with Shell PurePlus Technology, has a lower viscosity that allows it to flow faster at low temperatures*. It flows up to 3x faster* for easier starting and quicker engine warmup. Oil thickening due to high-temperature degradation can mean slower oil flow at low temperatures. Shell Helix Ultra better resists high-temperature attack, enabling the oil to perform better at low temperatures so you can Drive On.

“No one really has the authority to hire when you’re starting your business. Don’t see it in the perspective that “I don’t know how to hire” but think of it as more of like you are introducing yourself to a friend. I'm sure you're wise to choose a friend. You've been tested and you've learned already. It's just like that. You are choosing the right people that you can easily get along with, someone whom you can ask for favors and someone whom you can work with. Brian’s thoughts when asked how to hire people when you do not have the authority in hiring people
