Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix Ultra A5/B5 0W-30 4L is a fully synthetic engine oil that delivers maximum protection for high-performance gasoline, diesel, and gas engines, including those running biodiesel or ethanol blends. Its 0W-30 viscosity flows easily in extreme cold down to -40°C for quick starts and stays strong in hot conditions up to 150°C, reducing friction for up to 3% better fuel economy.

Key practical benefits include Shell's active cleansing technology that keeps engines factory clean by fighting sludge and deposits, superior wear protection to extend engine life, and low oil consumption for fewer top-ups. Meets API SL and ACEA A5/B5 specs, perfect for modern engines like certain Volvo models.

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in severe driving conditions, very hot or cold climates, or high-performance vehicles needing low-friction protection. Replace every 10,000-15,000 km or 12 months, whichever comes first, to maintain peak efficiency. Shelf life is 5 years unopened when stored cool and dry.
