Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Maximum performance right up to the next oil change. Shell Helix Ultra AT-L is a latest-generation, fully synthetic engine oil designed specifically to meet the requirements of Fiat engines and those of other manufacturers of gasoline engines fitted with particulate filters and three-way catalysts. It contains Shell's latest active cleansing technology to continuously prevent dirt and deposit build-up, delivering maximum performance right up to the next oil change.

Applications

• Suitable for Fiat engines requiring the 9.55535-S2 specification.

Performance & benefits

• Shell's latest active cleansing technologyContinuously prevents the build-up of dirt and deposits.
• Specially selected synthetic base oilsReduce oil volatility and therefore oil consumption, so the need to top up the oil is reduced.
• Long-term oxidation stabilityHigh antioxidant levels provide excellent oxidation protection.
• Low viscosity, rapid oil flow and reduced frictionBetter fuel efficiency and easy engine starting in low-temperature conditions.
• High shear stabilityMaintains viscosity and viscosity grade throughout the drain interval.
• Low-SAPS oil to protect the emissions systemEnsures a long service life for exhaust gas after-treatment devices.
