Shell V-Power - Overview

Instinct. Passion. Desire. What is it that makes the road ahead so inviting? Our work on Shell V-Power encompasses many factors that affect a car’s engine, from improving responsiveness to enhancing power delivery.

Designed to improve responsiveness

Shell V-Power contains powerful cleaning technology, developed to help enhance everyday driving performance and responsiveness. These cleaning components are designed to prevent the build up of power-robbing inlet valve deposits and to help remove those which may have been left behind by other fuels.

Formulated for enhancing power delivery

Shell V-Power is also a high-octane fuel (XX RON) designed to help maximize the performance of many modern engines. This is aided by Shell V-Power’s Friction ModificationTechnology (FMT) which is formulated to reduce friction between the cylinder and piston rings, a critical area of the engine where lubrication is difficult to achieve. FMT is designed to help the engine turn more freely, and so help transfer energy from the fuel to the wheels more efficiently.
