Shell came up with an entirely new way to produce synthetic base oils, made from natural gas with the patented Shell PurePlus Technology.

The Shell Helix SN and ECT Motor Oil is a range of top-tier motor oil that is formulated using the unique Shell PurePlus Technology, yielding a motor oil that actively helps keep engines clean.

Shell PurePlus Technology, which, compared to traditional group II and group III base oils, provides enhanced viscosity, friction and volatility performance.

Shell PurePlus Technology offers the opportunity to develop superior lubricants for the most advanced engines, achieving engine cleanliness not possible with lesser base oils.

Shell’s breakthrough process converts natural gas into a crystal-clear base oil with virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil.

From that pure, clear base they add their proprietary Active Cleansing Technology to create a motor oil that helps provide superior cleansing and protection for today’s engines.

This gives protection that exceeds industry standards, keeping critical engine components cleaner.

Why choose Shell Helix Ultra SN engine oil?

Engines are in their best condition the day they come off the production line.

That is why Shell designed the Shell Helix Ultra SN and ECT Motor Oil performance such that no other motor oil keeps your engine closer to factory clean.

For the SN Range, it goes beyond the requirements of industry standards to leave pistons 65% cleaner than required by API SN and ILSAC GF-5.

It helps to extend engine life in the toughest driving conditions, through its unsurpassed wear protection.

For the ECT Range, it uses Shell’s most advanced emissions compatible technology to help protect the vehicle’s emission system.

Its low-SAPs formulation helps keep diesel particulate filters clean and protects them from ash build-up that can block the exhaust system and lead to reduced engine performance.

Its low viscosity and low friction characteristics also mean that Shell Helix Ultra ECT provides greater fuel economy and is able to offer exceptional low-temperature performance for quicker engine warm up.5

Modern cars have sensitive exhaust after treatment devices that are designed to clean emissions.

Phosphorus and sulphur are elements found in the antioxidant and the anti-wear additives that keep the oil fresh and protect the engine.

The importance of cleansing

No matter how well maintained engines are, they all generate dirt and acids that contaminate oil and can cause deposits to form.

Even modern, high-performance engines generate power- and efficiency-robbing deposits.

Deposits can block the oilways and interfere with the function of the internal engine systems, thereby reducing the engine’s responsiveness.

But the Shell Helix SN and ECT range can help. By seeking out and dispersing contaminants, these engine oils helps to stop deposits from forming to keep petrol and diesel engines clean.

These Shell Helix Motor Oils are available at Pacific Energy Service Stations and outlets nationwide.
