Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix HX7 Diesel 10W-40 1L is a synthetic technology motor oil designed to keep your diesel engine clean and efficient. It prevents sludge and soot buildup, actively cleans deposits from inferior oils, and protects against wear for longer engine life.

This 10W-40 oil flows quickly in cold starts down to -25°C for faster warm-up, stays thick up to 150°C in hot conditions, and uses low evaporation for minimal top-ups between changes. It's approved for diesel engines without particulate filters, gasoline, gas, biodiesel, and ethanol blends, with specs like API CF, ACEA A3/B3/B4, MB 229.3, VW 505.00.

• Cleans engine continuously - Locks away dirt for smooth performance.
• Reduces wear - Extends life in daily traffic and demanding drives.
• Saves fuel - Low friction improves efficiency over thicker oils.
