Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic motor oil - Enhance your engine's efficiency by reducing friction for optimized performance. Shell Helix Extra ECT uses Anti-Friction Technology that helps to reduce engine frictions to provide enhanced fuel economy and protection. With advanced emissions-compatible technology, it helps to keep diesel particulate filters clean to help maintain engine performance.

Applications

• Shell Helix Extra ECT fully synthetic motor oil uses Shell’s advanced emissions-compatible technology to help protect the vehicle’s emission system. Its low-SAPs formulation helps to keep diesel particulate filters clean and protects them from ash build-up that can block the exhaust system and lead to reduced engine performance.
• Shell Helix Extra ECT can be used for modern gasoline engines, diesel engines with particulate filters and gas engines.
