Manufacturer's description

Exceptional engine cleanliness in all traffic conditions. Shell Helix HX6 is formulated using the latest active cleansing technology. It protects better than conventional engine oils by continuously removing carbon deposits from engine surfaces through the cleansing additives it contains. For better responsiveness and improved performance; it reduces engine noise.

Applications

  • Synthetic technology suitable for injection engines fitted with blow-by gas recirculation and a catalytic converter. Suitable for turbocharged, intercooled diesel engines and engines fitted with blow-by gas recirculation.

Performance & benefits

  • Formulated with cleansing technology: up to 23% more effective at removing residue from dirty engines than a mineral oil.
  • Good oxidation stability: resists oil degradation throughout the entire recommended oil-drain interval.
  • Specially selected synthetic base oils: reduce volatility and, consequently, oil consumption; the need for topping up is reduced.
  • Reduces engine vibration and noise: a more comfortable, quieter-running vehicle.

Standards & approvals

  • ACEA A3/B3

    ACEA A3/B3 oil sequence

    ACEA's sequence for petrol and light-duty diesel engines. A full-SAPS level on a fixed drain interval. No longer on ACEA's current list, but still specified by many engines on the road.Source
