Shell Helix
DESIGNED FOR ULTIMATE ENGINE PERFORMANCE
Engine stress and wear protection
Shell Helix Ultra provides superior protection against engine stress and wear because it’s a modern synthetic, made from natural gas. That’s why it’s stronger and less volatile at the molecular level than those made from traditional crude oil.
Ultimate power and performance
From Turbos to Super Chargers, if you love driving, Shell Helix Ultra Fully Synthetic Engine oils has you covered. Our synthetics are made from natural gas, our oils are stronger at a molecular level.
Extreme temperature performance
Shell Helix Ultra is designed for extreme temperatures, with PurePlus Technology it stays stronger for longer in extreme temperatures. Protecting the engine and the oil can also perform better at low temperatures.
Castrol Oil
IT'S MORE THAN JUST OIL. IT'S LIQUID ENGINEERING.
Discover the right lubricants for every car
When it’s time for an oil change, which oil is right for your engine? The answer to that question gets more complex every day. The latest engines are getting smaller and more powerful all the time, and manufacturers are specifying complex full synthetic oils to cope with higher engine pressures and meet fuel efficiency targets.
Liquid engineering means getting every oil change right
If you’re driving a muscle car or a European import, the manufacturer may well specify a full synthetic engine oil. Alternatively if you’re driving an older domestic vehicle, the manufacturer may recommend a mineral oil. However, even though that’s the most economical option, a full synthetic will almost certainly look after your engine better. Knowing what engine oil to use at every oil change is essential.
What does Viscosity mean?
Viscosity is a measurement of the thickness and 'ease of flow' in any liquid.
For example, water is a thin liquid that flows freely, so we say that it has a low viscosity.
Honey, on the other hand, is relatively thick and flows more slowly.
So we describe honey as having a high viscosity.
It's also worth noting that honey flows more easily - and is therefore less viscous when it is slightly warm.
Engine oil behaves in pretty much the same way, which is why mechanics will usually run an engine for a minute or two before draining used engine oil away to replace it.
So what type of engine oil to choose?
There are so many engine oils out there, which one is right for your vehicle?
Well, there are three basic types: mineral, part synthetic and full synthetic.
Mineral oils are the least refined of the three, which means they cost less, but also provide less protection, performance and economy than the other options.
Part synthetic engine oils are a blend of mineral oil and synthetic oil, to give added performance, but still at a lower cost than full synthetic engine oils.
Full synthetics are the most expensive engine oils as they are highly refined, but offer the
best protection and economy to absolutely every vehicle.
