Typical characteristics

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 C2/C3 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 leads to reduced engine performance.
• Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 can be used in modern gasoline engines, diesel engines with particulate filters and LPG engines.
• Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 is suitable for vehicles currently using SAE 5W-30 or 10W-30 grades, offering enhanced engine protection and fuel economy
• Applicable where an API SN oil is required. Maintains viscosity within limits throughout the drain interval.
• Low-evaporation formulationLow oil consumption and reduced top-up quantity. ACEA C2 / C3 oil. Specifications, approvals and recommendations
• DO NOT USE IN FIAT 1.3 L SDE EURO 6 ENGINES. To find the right Shell Helix product for your equipment, consult Shell LubeMatch at http://lubematch.shell.com

• Porsche C30. DO NOT USE IN FIAT 1.3 L SDE EURO 6 ENGINES

Performance & benefits

• Shell's advanced emissions-compatible technology, for low-SAPS oil.
• Protects the emission system by helping to keep the particulate filter clean.
• Shell's latest active-cleansing technology: helps protect high-performance engines by maintaining performance and removing deposits.
• High level of deposit protection: keeps the engine cleaner, closer to factory standard, than other oils.
• Superior wear protection: up to 4 times better than the API SN requirement and up to 50% better than the ACEA C2/C3 requirement.
• Formulated with special antioxidants: provides excellent oxidation protection throughout the drain interval.
• Low viscosity and low friction: up to 2.6% greater fuel economy.
• Superior piston cleanliness: cleans up to 45% better than the ACEA C2/C3 requirement and exceeds the API SN requirement.
