Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix Ultra 0W-40 4L is a premium fully synthetic engine oil designed for high-performance gasoline and diesel engines. It uses Shell's advanced PurePlus Technology from natural gas to keep your engine cleaner than ever, preventing sludge buildup and protecting against wear in extreme conditions.

Approved for top brands like Mercedes (MB 229.5), VW (502.00/505.00), Porsche A40, Renault RN0700/RN0710, and Fiat.
