Shell Helix Engine Oils
Using the right engine oil for your vehicle is extremely important, and plays a critical role in optimizing your car's performance and long-term durability. Shell Helix lubricants with special additives and viscosity grades that meet the needs of various engines. Shell Helix lubricants offer essential lubrication, reducing friction and preventing wear and tear on important components. They also contribute to efficient engine cooling, evenly distributing heat, and maintain a clean interior environment by trapping pollutants.
Omitting the recommended use of lubricant can affect engine performance, reducing efficiency and causing potential damage.
The challenges of choosing the right engine oil are great, as not all lubricants are created equal. The LubeMatch tool simplifies the process, ensuring that you can confidently choose the most suitable lubricant for your vehicle.

Benefits of Shell Helix Ultra engine oil with PurePlus Technology
Excellent performance in extreme temperatures
Shell Helix Ultra offers superior oil wear resistance, up to 32% better than the latest industry standard value.1
Plus, it offers 3x faster oil flow at -40°C for easier start-up and faster engine warm-up.2
Countless deposit protection
Shell Helix Ultra, with PurePlus technology, protects high-performance engines from deposits that hinder power and performance. Field tests showed remarkable engine cleanliness, maintaining the vehicle's initial fuel economy and performance as it was on the day it left the factory. 3
Time and cost efficiently
Up to 50% less exhaust loss compared to inferior engine oils. 5
Why does it matter?
Because the synthetic low-evaporation formula means you don't have to refresh your oil as often, saving you time and money.
For better fuel economy
The less friction there is between your engine components, the easier the components can operate and move – and the less fuel you will consume.
Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus technology features low-viscosity and low-friction formulations, which can lead to an increase in fuel economy of up to 3%.6
