Key features and benefits
- Engine cleaning - active cleansing agents suspend dirt particles and break dirt deposits down to decrease sludge build-up five times more effectively than mineral oil
- Long-lasting effectiveness - three times better shear stability than mineral oil, means oilmolecules don't degrade and viscosity stays at the optimum level
- Engine protection - antioxidants in Shell Helix Ultra neutralise free radicals, caused by oxidation, stopping oil thickening and maintaining protection
- Minimises vibration and engine noise for a smoother, quieter drive
- Greater fuel efficiency and easier cold starting due to low viscosity, rapid oil flow and low friction, reduced oil volatility decrease oil consumption too
- High performance partner - approved for use by numerous makers of high-performance vehicles and the only motor oil used by Ferrari
