Shell Helix Fully Synthetic Motor Oils
What are fully synthetic motor oils?
Shell Helix fully synthetic oils are manufactured from 100% synthetic base stock and high quality additives to achieve higher performance levels than both synthetic technology and mineral oils. To these high-quality synthetic base oils we add our proprietary Active Cleansing Technology to create a motor oil that helps provide superior cleansing and protection for today’s engines.
Fully synthetic motor oils help protect your engine.
It is not just freezing Arctic conditions or blistering deserts that push oil to extremes. Everyday motorway driving or congested city traffic, where the car repeatedly has to stop and start, can mean severe conditions for engine oil. Shell Helix Ultra’s fully synthetic formulation offers Shell’s maximum protection in very hot and extremely cold climates, and severe driving conditions.

Relentless performance, cleansing, and protection
Shell Helix HX8 ECT uses 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.
Main Applications
Shell Helix HX8 ECT uses Shell’s advanced emissions-compatible technology to help protect the vehicle’s emission system. Its low-SAPs formulation helps to keep diesel particulate filters clean and protects them from ash build-up that can block the exhaust system and lead to reduced engine performance.
- Shell Helix HX8 ECT can be used for modern gasoline engines, diesel engines with particulate filters, and gas engines.
