Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Synthetic oil for two-stroke motorcycle engines. Shell Advance VSX 2 is a synthetic lubricant designed specifically for excellent engine protection and performance in two-stroke motorcycle engines. It guarantees superior control against exhaust system blocking and minimises exhaust smoke. Shell Advance VSX 2 is suitable for both oil injection and premix systems and exceeds the requirements of the leading manufacturers.

Applications

• All two-stroke motorcycle engines, with oil injection or premix systems
• Recommended for high-performance two-stroke engines, air- or water-cooled
• Shell Advance VSX 2 must not be used in outboard engines. Shell Nautilus oil is recommended as the appropriate product for that application.

Performance & benefits

• Excellent engine protection and cleanlinessThe formulation is carefully balanced and specially tested on two-stroke engines to prevent frictional wear, ring sticking and deposit formation. Engine life is extended, and the original level of performance maintained.
• Superior control against exhaust system blockingThe formulation prevents exhaust system deposits, maintaining engine performance at its original level.
• Minimised exhaust smokeThe large, carefully selected quantity of polyisobutylene, as a carefully balanced component, reduces exhaust smoke, lowering environmental impact.
• Superior engine power and efficiencyThe beneficial combustion characteristics allow rapid adaptation to new driver demands, improving acceleration performance and increasing power.
• Very good self-mixing propertiesShell Advance VSX 2 contains a hydrocarbon diluent and can therefore be used both in the oil injection systems fitted to modern two-stroke motorcycles and in premix systems.
• ISO-L-EGD. Shell Advance VSX 2 meets the requirements of all the leading motorcycle manufacturers
