Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic engine oil – Shell's most advanced formulation for high-performance engines. Designed to meet the demanding requirements of certain high-performance engines, including those requiring API SN or ACEA A3/B4.

Applications

• Extreme-performance engines and racing conditions can cause excessive wear of bearings and other engine components. Shell Helix Ultra Racing 5W-40 has been formulated with a higher viscosity to ensure exceptional bearing protection under extreme-performance and racing conditions compared with lower-viscosity oils. Shell Helix Ultra Racing 5W-40 is designed for modified and racing engines running on gasoline, diesel and gas, and is also suitable for biodiesel and gasoline/ethanol blends.
