Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 5L is a premium fully synthetic engine oil that delivers ultimate protection for modern gasoline and diesel engines, especially those with sensitive emission systems like diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalytic converters. Its low-ash formula keeps these parts clean to prevent clogging and maintain strong performance.

This oil flows easily in cold weather down to -35°C for quick starts and fast warm-up, while staying thick enough at high engine temps up to 150°C to shield against wear. It cuts friction for up to 2.6% better fuel economy, keeps pistons 45% cleaner than required, and offers 4 times superior wear protection compared to industry standards.

• Perfect for VW, Porsche, Mercedes, and FIAT vehicles meeting specs like VW 504.00/507.00, Porsche C30, MB 229.31/51/52, ACEA C2/C3, API SN
• 5-liter tin covers most full oil changes
• Shelf life up to 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in high-performance cars driven in extreme hot or cold climates, stop-go city traffic, or long highway runs. Ideal for turbocharged engines and vehicles needing low-SAPS oil to protect emissions gear.

Replace every 15,000-30,000 km or 12-24 months, following your owner's manual - its superior stability allows longer intervals without breakdown. Check oil level monthly and top up if low, as it minimizes evaporation for fewer refills.
