Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Cleans and protects for improved responsiveness. Shell Helix Ultra Extra 5W-30 is a premium, fully synthetic engine oil formulated on the basis of a latest-generation active cleansing technology. It protects better than conventional engine oils by continuously removing engine deposits, while at the same time protecting the exhaust gas after-treatment system. For better responsiveness, right up to the next oil change. Shell Helix Ultra Extra is a unique, fully synthetic lubricant offering protection for both the engine and the exhaust gas after-treatment system, approved by the leading vehicle manufacturers, such as Mercedes-Benz, VW and BMW, to support extended oil drain intervals. With Shell Helix Ultra Extra you know you are doing the right thing for your car.

Applications

• The product is intended for fuel-injected engines fitted with blow-by gas recirculation, catalytic converters and particulate filters. For gasoline and diesel engines approved for 5W-30 use.
• Specifically intended for the latest Mercedes-Benz, VW and BMW diesel engines fitted with exhaust gas after-treatment devices, and also suitable for older-generation diesel engines requiring a 5W-30 viscosity.

Performance & benefits

• Maximum engine cleanlinessContains cleansing technology to continuously prevent dirt and deposits.
• The product protects the engine under all operating conditions, from the repeated stop-start duty typical of city traffic to motorway duty. The engine lasts longer than with conventional oils. Fuel economy and easy starting at low temperatures
• Low viscosity, rapid oil flow and low friction contribute effectively to reduced fuel consumption and ensure easy starting at low temperatures.
• Low oil consumptionThe use of specially selected synthetic base oils reduces oil volatility and therefore oil consumption. The need to top up with oil is consequently reduced.
• Reduces environmental impact. Excellent protection for engines fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and for turbocharged/multivalve passenger cars
• Exceed the standards.
• Advanced protection and long engine life: The product protects the engine under all operating conditions, from the repeated stop-start duty typical of city traffic to motorway duty. The engine lasts longer than with conventional oils
• Fuel economy and easy starting at low temperatures: Low viscosity, rapid oil flow and low friction contribute effectively to reduced fuel consumption and ensure easy starting at low temperatures
• Extremely low chlorine content. Reduces environmental impact
• Excellent protection for engines fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and for turbocharged/multivalve passenger cars. Exceed the standards
