Shell Helix Ultra's fully synthetic formulation offers Shell's maximum protection in very hot and extremely cold climates, and severe driving conditions. Shell PurePlus Technology Shell PurePlus Technology is a revolutionary process that converts natural gas into crystal-clear base oil with virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil. Base oil makes up approximately 75-90% of motor oil and so this is a significant step-change in the composition. Shell PurePlus Technology produces base oil that provides enhanced viscosity, friction and volatility performance compared to more prominently used traditional base oils. This means it helps extend engine life, reduce maintenance costs, reduce oil consumption, enhance fuel economy and enable better engine cleanliness. Benefits of Shell Helix Engine Oils Engine stress and wear protection Shell Helix Ultra provides superior protection against engine stress and wear because it’s a modern synthetic, made from natural gas. That’s why it’s stronger and less volatile at the molecular level than those made from traditional crude oil. Extreme temperature performance Shell Helix Ultra is designed for extreme temperatures, with PurePlus Technology it stays stronger for longer in extreme temperatures. Protecting the engine and the oil can also perform better at low temperatures. Ultimate power and performance From Turbos to Super Chargers, if you love driving, Shell Helix Ultra Fully Synthetic Engine oils has you covered.
