Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic motor oil - Shell's ultimate protection for vehicle emission systems Shell Helix Ultra ECT features its most advanced emissions-compatible technology that helps to keep diesel particulate filters clean to help maintain engine performance. It helps to reduce engine friction to provide enhanced fuel economy.

Applications

• Shell Helix Ultra ECT’s fully synthetic formulation uses Shell’s most advanced emissions-compatible technology to help gasoline engine exhaust catalysts to keep diesel particulate filters clean and protects it from ash build-up that can block the exhaust system and lead to reduced engine performance.

Performance & benefits

• Shell’s most advanced emissions-compatible technology (ECT) for low-SAPS oil
• Protects emission system by helping to keep diesel particulate filters ultimate active cleansing technology Helps to protect high-performance engines from power- and performance-robbing deposits
• Unsurpassed sludge protectionNo other motor oil can keep your engine closer to factory clean 1
• Developed with special antioxidantsHelps to provide excellent oxidation protection throughout the oil-drain interval.
• Exceptional low-temperature performanceEasier starting in cold weather, faster oil flow for quicker engine warm-up 2
• High resistance to mechanical stressMaintains viscosity and stays in grade throughout the oil- change interval.
• Low evaporation formulationLow oil consumption for less frequent top-up.
• Low viscosity and low friction1 Based on Sequence VG sludge test results using 0W-40 2 Compared with higher viscosity oils.
