Shell Advance Motorcycle Lubricants
We know that when your motorcycle is in top condition, it offers you a high degree of reliability and enhanced control, making riding more enjoyable. With a product portfolio covering 4-year-olds, 2-year-olds, and scooters, Shell Advance has developed a range of products to suit various motorcycle types and riding styles.
The best lubricants for your motorcycle
Motorcycle engines operate in a compact, high-pressure, high-temperature environment, and they need special motorcycle oil to lubricate and protect the engine, transmission, and clutch, all within a relatively small oil tank.
That's why Shell developed Shell's patented PurePlus technology, which converts pure natural gas into a first-class, fully synthetic base oil used in Shell Advance Ultra—our range of premium motorcycle oils.
A clean motorcycle engine helps improve engine efficiency, performance, and protection. Riders enjoy benefits such as power retention, fuel economy, and oil durability with the use of Shell Advance motorcycle oils.
Three reasons to drive with Shell Advance:
Maintain Your Power
When the oil wears out, friction can occur, reducing the efficiency and performance of the engine. Shell Advance Ultra remains effective between oil changes to keep your motorcycle at peak performance.1
Improve your fuel economy
Shell Advance Ultra minimizes the formation of deposits that can cause friction losses. This means more efficient power transmission, which can lead to lower fuel consumption – up to 5 kilometres more per litre of fuel.2
Drive more miles between oil changes
The Shell Advance Ultra has lower volatility and better oxidation stability, which means it doesn't degrade within 6,000 kilometers, which is twice the usual oil change interval.3

Shell Advance VSX 2 (FC/EGD)
