At Shell, we’ve been leading motor oil research for over 50 years, often at the sharp end of Formula One racing. It’s this expertise that has led us to create Shell Helix. Tried and tested on the track, our world-class team of technicians and scientists continuously develop the oil to ensure it keeps engines in prime condition.
With its potent cleaning power offering improved performance, it certainly made an impression on F1 driver Felipe Massa: "When Ferrari run their F1 engines on Shell Helix, you can really feel the difference – there’s greater reliability too."
Use Shell Helix in your car and we believe its active cleansing technology is sure to make an impression on you too.
Shell Helix Ultra Racing has been formulated with a higher viscosity to provide better bearing protection under extreme performance and racing conditions.
Special features
Benefits
Specially designed for racing and modified vehicles
Greater bearing and wear protection under extreme performance and racing conditions
Shell ultimate active cleansing technology
Five times as effective at removing
sludge from dirty engines than a mineral oil
Long-term oxidation stability
Up to 37% more protection than other fully synthetic leading brands tested
Low viscosity, rapid oil flow and low friction
Greater fuel efficiency
High shear stability
To maintain viscosity and stay in grade throughout the oil drain period
Specially selected synthetic base oils
Reduces the oil volatility and therefore the oil consumption. The need for oil top-up is reduced
Minimises vibration and engine noise
Smoother, quieter drive
Specification: API SM/CF, ACEA, A3,/B3/B4, MB 229.1, Ferrari Approved
Shell Helix Ultra is suitable for high performance modern petrol engines: fuel-injected models fitted with catalytic converters. It is five times as effective at removing sludge than mineral oil.
Special features
Benefits
Shell's ultimate active cleansing technology
Provides the best engine protection by continuously removing deposits from dirty engines
Long-term oxidation stability
Up to 37% more protection than other fully synthetic leading brands tested
Low viscosity, rapid oil flow and low friction
Greater fuel efficiency and easier cold starting
High shear stability
To maintain viscosity and stay in grade throughout the oil drain period
Specially selected synthetic base oils
Reduces oil volatility and therefore oil consumption. The need for oil top-up is therefore reduced
Minimises vibration and engine noise

Shell Helix HX7 is suitable for fuel-injected petrol engines fitted with catalytic converters. Also suitable for turbo charged and intercooled direct injection diesel engines. It is twice as effective as normal oil at removing sludge from dirty engines.
Special features
Benefits
Special active cleansing technology
Works harder to protect than conventional mineral oils bycontinuously removing deposits from dirty engines
Enhanced oxidation stability
Up to 19% more protectionthan other synthetic technology leading brands tested
Low viscosity, rapid oil flowand low friction
Greater fuel efficiency and easier cold starting
High shear stability
To maintain viscosity and stay in grade thoughout theoil drain period
Specially selected syntheticbase oils
Reduces oil volatility and therefore oil consumption. The need for oil top-up is therefore reduced
Shell Helix HX5 is suitable for fuel-injected petrol engines. Also suitable for naturally aspirated or turbo charged indirect injection diesel engines.
Special features
Benefits
Formulated with cleansing technology
Up to 23% more effective at removing deposits from dirty engines than a normal mineral oil
Good oxidation stability
Resists oil degradation throughout the oil drain interval
High quality base oils
Helps reduce the oil volatility and therefore the oil consumption
