Shell Advance motorcycle oils
We know that when your bike is in peak condition it offers you a high degree of reliability and enhanced control, giving you an enjoyable ride. With a product portfolio covering 4-stroke, 2-stroke and scooters, Shell Advance has developed a range of products to suit different types of bikes and riding styles.
The best oils for your bike
Motorcycle engines operate in a compact, high stress and high heat environment, and need a dedicated motorcycle oil to lubricate and protect the engines, gear box and clutch, all within a relatively small oil sump.
That’s why Shell developed our patented Shell PurePlus Technology that converts pure natural gas into the first-of-its-kind, high quality full synthetic base oil used in Shell Advance Ultra—our range of top-tier motorcycle oil.
A clean motorcycle engine helps provide better engine efficiency, performance and protection. Bikers enjoy power retention, fuel economy and oil durability benefits with the use of Shell Advance motorcycle oils.
Three reasons to ride with Shell Advance
Maintain your power
When oil wears off, friction can occur, reducing engine efficiency and performance. Shell Advance Ultra stays effective between drains to keep your motorcycle performing at its best1.
Improve your fuel economy
Shell Advance Ultra minimises the formation of deposits that can lead to friction losses. This means more efficient power transmission, which can lead to lower fuel consumption – up to 5km more per litre of fuel2.
Ride further between oil changes
Shell Advance Ultra has lower volatility and better oxidation stability, which means it doesn’t degrade within 6,000km, which is twice the typical oil drain interval3.
