Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30 4L is a premium fully synthetic engine oil made with Shell PurePlus Technology from natural gas for superior purity. It flows easily at cold starts down to -30°C and stays thick up to 150°C, cutting friction for up to 1.4% better fuel economy while providing unmatched sludge protection to keep your engine factory clean.

This oil delivers up to 30% more oxidation protection than other synthetics, reducing wear and corrosion in high-performance gasoline, diesel, and gas engines, including those with turbochargers, biodiesel, or ethanol blends. Approved for BMW LL-01, Mercedes 229.5/226.5, VW 502.00/505.00, Renault RN0700/RN0710, and API SN/CF, ACEA A3/B3/B4.

• Ultimate active cleansing removes sludge 5x better than mineral oils
• Lowers engine noise and vibration for smoother drives
• Reduces oil top-ups with low volatility
• 4-liter pack suits most passenger cars

When to Use / Replace?

Use in modern high-performance engines, turbocharged cars, or tough conditions like stop-start city driving, long trips, heavy loads, or extreme temperatures. Ideal for BMW, Mercedes, VW, Renault, and many Japanese/Korean vehicles.

Replace every 10,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, for peak protection. Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
