Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 20L is a fully synthetic motor oil designed for high-performance gasoline, diesel, and gas engines. It uses Shell's PurePlus Technology from natural gas for superior cleansing that keeps engines closer to factory clean, reducing sludge and deposits for smoother operation and longer life.

This 20-liter drum delivers ultimate wear protection and neutralizes corrosive acids, protecting vital parts even in extreme heat over 100°C or cold down to -30°C. It flows fast for quick warm-ups, cuts oil top-ups with low evaporation, and handles the longest manufacturer-recommended drain intervals up to 20,000 km or 12 months.

• Key Benefits: Actively cleans old sludge from previous oils, minimizes engine noise in stop-start traffic, and provides 46% better resistance to breakdown than standard synthetics.
• Approved For: Ferrari, BMW LL-01, Mercedes 229.5, Porsche A40, VW 502.00/505.00, and more high-performance vehicles.
• Suitable For: Modern fuel-injected engines with catalytic converters, biodiesel, and ethanol blends.
