Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 is a top-tier, fully synthetic motor oil formulated using Shell’s patented PurePlus Technology, which converts natural gas into a crystal-clear base oil virtually free of crude oil impurities. Combined with Active Cleansing Technology, it actively protects modern high-performance engines from harmful sludge, carbon deposits, and varnish formation. Suitable for gasoline, diesel (without particulate filters), and gas-powered engines, it provides ultimate wear protection and shear stability under high thermal stress and demanding operational conditions. Its 5W-40 viscosity rating delivers rapid low-temperature oil flow for quick cold starts while maintaining a durable, strong oil film at peak engine operating temperatures. The lubricant exhibits low volatility to minimize oil consumption and burn-off across full drain intervals. Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 typically features a kinematic viscosity of around 79.1 mm²/s at 40°C and 13.1 mm²/s at 100°C, alongside a pour point near -45°C. It satisfies leading industry standards including API SP and ACEA A3/B3/B4, and carries key OEM approvals such as MB-Approval 229.5, VW 502.00/505.00, Porsche A40, Renault RN 0700/0710, and BMW Longlife-01.
