Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic engine oil – Shell's newest product in the field of emissions protection. Shell Helix ECT features Shell's most advanced emissions-compatible technology, which helps keep diesel particulate filters clean and helps keep the engine clean. It helps reduce engine friction and improves fuel economy.

Applications

  • The fully synthetic Shell Helix Ultra ECT formulation uses Shell's advanced technology to help the exhaust catalyst on gasoline engines and to protect and keep diesel particulate filters clean of the ash that can block the exhaust system and lead to reduced engine performance.
  • Shell Helix Ultra ECT can be used in modern gasoline engines, diesel engines with particulate filters and gas engines.
  • Shell Helix Ultra ECT 0W-30 is suitable for vehicles currently using SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 grades, offering enhanced engine protection and fuel economy
  • Applicable to vehicles where an API SN or ACEA C3 oil is required. Specifications, approvals and recommendations
  • To find the right Shell Helix product for your equipment, consult Shell LubeMatch at http://lubematch.shell.com
  • Advice on applications not covered here can be obtained from Shell distributor or Shell Lubricants representatives or from the technical helpdesks.
  • MB 229.51 approval

Performance & benefits

  • Shell's advanced Emissions Compatible Technology (ECT), with a reduced SAPS index: protects the emission system by helping the particulate filter stay clean.
  • Shell's newest active-cleansing technology: helps protect high-performance engines, maintaining performance and removing deposits.
  • High-level deposit protection: no other oil keeps the engine as close to factory-clean standards.
  • Formulated with special antioxidants: gives excellent oxidation protection throughout the oil-drain interval.
  • Low viscosity and friction: up to 2.1% additional fuel economy.
  • Exceptional low-temperature performance: easier cold starting, fast flow for quicker engine warm-up.
  • High resistance to mechanical stress: keeps viscosity within limits throughout the oil-drain interval.
  • Low-evaporation formulation: low oil consumption, with a reduced top-up quantity.
