Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix HX7 Professional AV 5W-30 1L is a semi-synthetic engine oil built for high-performance gasoline and diesel engines, especially Audi and Volkswagen models. Its 5W-30 viscosity flows smoothly at cold starts down to -30°C for quick protection and stays strong up to 230°C to handle intense heat. This 1-liter bottle uses advanced gas-to-liquids technology to clean pistons, reduce wear, control soot, and boost fuel efficiency by at least 2.5%.

Key specs include ACEA C3 approval and VW 502.00/505.01 certification, ensuring it meets strict manufacturer standards for extended engine life and durability.

Practical benefits:

• Protects valves and cylinders from wear during cold mornings or hot runs
