Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix Ultra ECT C3 0W-30 1L is a premium fully synthetic engine oil designed for modern diesel and gasoline engines with emission systems like diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalysts. Its 0W-30 viscosity flows easily at cold starts down to -35°C for quicker warm-up and stays thick up to 150°C under high heat, reducing wear by up to 4 times compared to industry standards while boosting fuel economy by up to 2.6%.

Meets key specs including ACEA C3, API SN, BMW Longlife-04, and Mercedes-Benz 229.51, making it ideal for high-performance vehicles. Active cleansing technology keeps pistons 45% cleaner, protects against corrosion 3 times better, and prevents sludge buildup for longer engine life. Low evaporation means less frequent top-ups between changes.
