Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix HX8 5W40 1L is a fully synthetic engine oil that delivers relentless performance, cleansing, and protection for your car's engine. It flows easily at cold starts down to -30°C for quick warm-up and stays thick up to 150°C to protect against wear in hot traffic or heavy loads. This premium oil actively cleans sludge from previous oils, locks away deposits, and cuts oil consumption for fewer top-ups.
