Global Product Code: 001A9013



Application:

Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 is Shell’s most advanced fully synthetic motor oil, designed to meet the performance needs of high-output gasoline and diesel engines (without diesel particulate filters). Engineered with Shell’s unique active cleansing technology, it protects against sludge, minimizes wear, and ensures peak engine efficiency even in severe temperatures and extreme driving conditions.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Ultimate Active Cleansing Technology: Helps prevent and remove performance-robbing deposits and sludge.
  • Superior Wear and Corrosion Protection: Protects metal surfaces from damage and extends engine life.
  • Active Clean-Up: Effectively removes sludge left by lower quality oils (validated by severe testing).
  • Oil Stability and Longevity: Maintains performance throughout the oil-drain interval even under stress.
  • Low Evaporation Loss: Reduces oil consumption and frequency of top-ups.
  • Cold-Temperature Performance: Provides faster oil circulation and quicker engine warm-up.
  • OEM Approved: Recognised by multiple premium automotive brands for high-quality engine protection.
  • Multi-Fuel Compatibility: Suitable for gasoline, diesel (non-DPF), gas engines, biodiesel, and gasoline/ethanol blends.

Main Application Areas:

  • Modern gasoline engines
  • Diesel engines without particulate filters
  • Gas engines and vehicles using biodiesel or ethanol-blended fuels
  • Environments with extreme cold or heat

Usage Instructions:

  • Use where specifications such as API SN or ACEA A3/B4 are required.
  • Refer to OEM manuals for oil-drain intervals and vehicle compatibility.
  • For guidance on special applications, contact Shell technical support.

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Shell Helix Ultra is unlikely to pose a significant health hazard if used properly and with standard hygiene practices.
  • Wear gloves when handling used oil. Wash exposed skin thoroughly with soap and water.
  • Dispose of used oil responsibly—do not pour into drains, soil, or water.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry.
