Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic motor oil, Shell's most advanced formulation for high performance engines. Shell Helix Ultra A5/B5 0W-30 uses unique active cleansing technology to help high-performance engines operate at maximum efficiency by helping to protect them from deposits and wear. This SAE 0W-30 grade meets ACEA A5/B5 and API SL, gives easier starting in cold weather and can be used in gasoline, diesel and gas engines, including where A5/B5 0W-30 grades are recommended, such as for certain Volvo cars.

Applications

• Shell Helix Ultra's fully synthetic formulation offers Shell's maximum protection in very hot and extremely cold climates, and severe driving conditions.
• Shell Helix Ultra A5/B5 can be used for gasoline, diesel and gas engines, and it is also suitable for biodiesel and gasoline/ethanol blends and where A5/B5 0W-30 grades are recommended, such as for certain Volvo cars.

Performance & benefits

• Helps to protect high-performance engines from power- and performance-robbing deposits. Superior wear and corrosion protection 3
• Helps to extend engine life by protecting surfaces from wear and by helping to neutralise corrosive combustion acids.
• Up to 2.6% greater fuel economy 2 Unsurpassed sludge protection 1
• No other motor oil can keep your engine closer to factory clean 1 Excellent resistance to oil degradation 6
• Helps to maintain protection throughout the oil-drain interval. Low-evaporation formulation 5
• Low oil consumption for less frequent top-up.
• Exceptional low-temperature performanceEasier starting in cold weather; faster oil flow for quicker engine warm-up 4
• Multi-fuel capabilityCan be used for gasoline, diesel and gas engines, and is also suitable for biodiesel and gasoline/ethanol blends. 1 Based on Sequence VG sludge test results using 0W-40 2 Based on ACEA M 111 fuel economy results compared with the industry reference oil 3 Compared with ACEA A5/B5 and API SL specifications and based on OM646LA and Sequence VIII engine tests carried out at an independent laboratory 4 Compared with higher-viscosity oils 5 Based on NOACK volatility test and equipment manufacturers' requirements
