Shell Helix HX7 5W-40

Application:

Shell Helix HX7 5W-40 is a synthetic technology motor oil designed to help keep engines clean and running efficiently. It is formulated with Shell’s unique active cleansing technology that helps prevent the formation of sludge and deposits, extending engine life and maintaining performance even in modern vehicles subjected to demanding traffic conditions. It is suitable for gasoline engines, diesel engines (without particulate filters), and gas engines, and is compatible with biodiesel and ethanol fuel blends.

Performance Features & Benefits:

• Synthetic Technology Blend: Combines synthetic and mineral base oils to exceed the performance of conventional oils.
• Active Cleansing Technology: Helps lock away harmful deposits, keeping engines clean and responsive.
• Sludge Removal: Proven ability to clean up sludge left by inferior oils (based on severe clean-up tests).
• Wear Protection: Protects critical engine components even under stop-and-go driving conditions (Sequence IVA tested).
• Oxidation Resistance: Maintains oil integrity across the full drain interval.
• Low-Temperature Start-up: Fast oil circulation improves protection during cold starts (compared with mineral oils).
• Reduced Oil Consumption: Low volatility base oils reduce the frequency of oil top-ups.
• Multi-Fuel Engine Compatibility: Suitable for use in gasoline, diesel (non-DPF), and gas engines running on ethanol or biodiesel blends.

Main Application Areas:

• Modern passenger cars and light commercial vehicles
• Engines operating under demanding city or highway driving conditions
• Gasoline and diesel engines not equipped with particulate filters
• Vehicles using biodiesel or gasoline/ethanol fuel blends

Usage Instructions:

• Use in engines requiring API SN, ACEA A3/B4, or VW 502.00/505.00 specification oils.
