Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 1L is a fully synthetic engine oil designed for modern diesel and gasoline engines with advanced emission systems. It flows easily at cold starts down to -35°C for quick lubrication and stays thick up to 150°C to protect against wear in hot conditions.

This low-ash formula keeps diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalytic converters clean, preventing clogs that hurt performance. It cuts engine friction for up to 2.6% better fuel economy, reduces wear by up to 4 times industry standards, and maintains piston cleanliness up to 45% better than required.

• Perfect for cars needing ACEA C2/C3, API SN, VW 504.00/507.00, MB 229.51/229.52, Porsche C30 specs
