Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix HX7 5W-40 1L is a premium semi-synthetic engine oil that keeps your engine clean and efficient by actively preventing sludge and deposits. Its 5W-40 viscosity flows easily in cold starts down to -30°C for quick protection, while staying thick up to 150°C in hot conditions, reducing wear in daily traffic.

This oil meets key specs like API SN/CF, ACEA A3/B3/B4, VW 502.00/505.00, MB 229.3, Renault RN0700/RN0710, and Fiat 9.55535-N2/M2, making it ideal for gasoline, diesel (without DPF), gas engines, biodiesel, and ethanol blends in modern cars.

• Actively cleans sludge from past oils for better performance
• Extends engine life with superior wear protection
• Low oil consumption means fewer top-ups
• Supports emission systems and turbo engines
