Shell Motor Oils and Lubricants: Global Standards of Engine Protection

A Century of Leadership in the Lubricant Industry

The Shell brand needs no introduction. As one of the largest energy corporations in the world, the company has for decades maintained its status as the absolute leader in the development and manufacture of high-tech lubricants. Products featuring the recognizable yellow-and-red scallop logo are exported to more than 100 countries, earning the trust of everyday car owners, major industrial conglomerates, motorsport teams, and global automotive manufacturers alike.

Shell's success is built upon continuous scientific research. Dedicated technical centers in the USA, Germany, Japan, and other countries work daily on perfecting oil formulations to meet stringent modern environmental requirements and the technical demands of car manufacturers.

Innovative Patented Shell PurePlus Technology

The brand's primary technological breakthrough is the creation of synthetic base oils from natural gas using a revolutionary Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) process, commercially branded as Shell PurePlus Technology. Unlike traditional base oils derived from refining crude oil, gas-based products are virtually free of impurities, sulfur, and heavy hydrocarbons.

Key benefits of PurePlus Technology include:

• Exceptional purity of the base stock: prevents the buildup of sludge, lacquer deposits, and carbon on internal engine parts.

• Superb low-temperature performance: the oil maintains fluidity in extreme cold, ensuring easy start-ups and instant engine protection from the very first seconds of operation.

• Minimal volatility: significantly reduces oil consumption due to burn-off, minimizing the need for regular top-offs.

• Enhanced viscosity stability: the protective oil film does not break down under extreme temperatures and pressures.

Comprehensive Range of Lubricants for All Types of Equipment

The Shell product portfolio is tailored to the design features of different engines and their operating conditions:

• Shell Helix: a premium line of engine oils for gasoline and diesel passenger cars, crossovers, and SUVs. It includes fully synthetic, semi-synthetic, and mineral formulations adapted for both classic and modern engines.

• Shell Rimula: a heavy-duty engine oil range developed specifically for commercial vehicles, trucks, buses, and heavy construction equipment. It guarantees reliable protection for diesel engines operating continuously under high loads.

• Shell Rotella: specialized premium-class American engine oils designed for high-powered diesel pickups, SUVs, and American heavy-duty vehicles, offering maximum resistance to thermal shear.

• Shell Spirax and Gadus: transmission fluids and greases engineered for the reliable performance of gearboxes, drive axles, transfer cases, and industrial or automotive bearing assemblies.

By choosing genuine Shell lubricants, you get an unsurpassed level of engine protection, fuel economy, stable operation of exhaust treatment systems (including DPF diesel particulate filters), and complete confidence in your vehicle's reliability under any load.
