Product Description

Shell Helix HX8 Synthetic 5W-40 is a fully synthetic motor oil engineered to provide continuous engine protection, cleanliness, and performance under rigorous daily driving conditions. Utilizing Shell's Active Cleansing Technology and Flexi Molecule Technology, it actively adapts to engine stress, preventing harmful sludge formation and protecting critical components against wear. The lubricant is designed for a broad spectrum of modern gasoline, diesel (without particulate filters), and gas-powered vehicles, as well as biodiesel and ethanol-blended fuels. Its 5W-40 viscosity profile ensures excellent low-temperature fluidity for fast oil circulation during cold starts, significantly reducing start-up friction. Under high thermal load and severe operating conditions, it maintains strong shear stability and exceptional resistance to oxidation over full oil drain intervals. The product exhibits a typical kinematic viscosity of around 87.7 mm²/s at 40°C and 14.2 mm²/s at 100°C, combined with a pour point near -45°C for superior cold-weather flow. Finally, Shell Helix HX8 Synthetic 5W-40 satisfies major international industry standards including API SN PLUS and ACEA A3/B3/B4, carrying key OEM approvals such as MB-Approval 229.3/229.5, VW 502.00/505.00, and Renault RN 0700/0710.
