Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Maximum performance right up to the next oil change. Shell Helix Ultra AF is a latest-generation, fully synthetic engine oil designed specifically to meet the requirements of all Ford gasoline and diesel engines. Maximum performance right up to the next oil change.

Applications

• The oil is intended for lubricating all naturally aspirated, fuel-injected, turbocharged and multivalve engines fitted to Ford passenger cars that permit the use of low-viscosity, fuel-economy oils under HTHS (high temperature, high shear) operating conditions. Oils meeting WSS-M2C 913C are a mandatory recommendation for all 2009 Ford vehicles, including those fitted with particulate filters. The oil is fully compatible with all older Ford models.

Performance & benefits

• Special active cleansing technologyUp to five times more effective at removing deposits from dirty engines than a mineral oil.
• Improved oxidation stabilityUp to 19% more protection than other brands tested, achieved through synthetic technologies.
• Fuel economyLow viscosity, rapid oil flow under starting conditions and reduced friction contribute effectively to lower fuel consumption. Fuel economy performance has been demonstrated in engine tests.
• High shear stabilityMaintains viscosity and viscosity grade throughout the drain interval.
• Low volatilityThe use of selected synthetic base oils reduces oil volatility and therefore oil consumption. The need to top up with oil is consequently reduced.
• Minimises engine vibration and noiseMore comfortable and quieter operation.

Fits

• Cars & light vehicles
