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.

Ultimate power and performance

From Turbos to Super Chargers, if you love driving for the power and performance, Shell Helix Ultra Fully Synthetic Motor oils has you covered. Because our synthetics are made from natural gas our oils are stronger at a molecular level. Making them superior to traditional mineral oils made from crude. The result is enhanced viscosity, reduced friction and lower volatility. Perfect for high performance engines and protecting vital engine parts and horsepower by staying stronger for longer.

Superior Piston Cleanliness

Superior Piston Cleanliness

Tested both on the road and on the track, Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology helps to protect high-performance engines from harmful deposits that hinder your power and performance to Drive On.

No other motor oil cleans your engine better**. Or helps keep your engine closer to factory clean.

*Based on 100,000 Km fleet trial
**Based on Sequence VG sludge test results using OW-40 

Better Fuel Economy

Better Fuel Economy

Start saving as soon as you start your engine. Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology has low-viscosity, low-friction formulations, which can result in up to 3% greater fuel economy.* Giving you more money and more miles to drive on and on and on with. 

*Based on ACEA M 111 fuel economy results compared with the industry reference oil

Oil For Any Engine

Shell Helix Fully Synthetic Motor Oils

Shell Helix fully synthetic oils are manufactured from 100% synthetic base stock and high quality additives to achieve higher performance levels than both synthetic technology and mineral oils.

Shell Helix Semi Synthetic Motor Oils

Shell Helix semi-synthetic or ‘synthetic technology’ oils make use of both synthetic and mineral base stocks to achieve higher performance levels than can be formulated from mineral oils alone.

Shell Helix Mineral Motor Oils

Mineral motor oil is the fraction of naturally occurring crude oil with the right properties for lubricating engines. Shell Helix mineral motor oils help to protect your engine against harmful sludge to help keep engines clean.
