Shell Helix Ultra

DESIGNED FOR ULTIMATE ENGINE PERFORMANCE.

Shell's most advanced formulation for high performance engines.

Fully synthetic motor oil – Shell’s ultimate protection for vehicle emissions systems.

Shell Helix Ultra is a range of top-tier motor oil that is formulated using the unique Shell PurePlus Technology, yielding a motor oil that actively helps keep engines clean. Active Cleansing Technology has always been at the heart of Shell Helix. Starting with the unique Shell PurePlus Technology allows the product to provide even higher levels of cleansing and protection.

Made from natural gas it uses PurePlus Technology, a revolutionary process that delivers crystal-clear base oil made from natural gas with virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil – making it 99.5% pure*.

*Based on paraffinic hydrocarbon content and significantly higher level of iso-paraffins compared to typical Group II and III base oils.
