Applications

• Shell Helix HX7 helps extend the engine life of modern vehicles in demanding traffic conditions by protecting against wear. Shell Helix HX7 can be used in gasoline, diesel (without particulate filters) and gas engines, and is suitable for biodiesel and gasoline/ethanol blends.

Performance & benefits

• Synthetic technologyUses both synthetic and mineral technologies to reach high performance levels that cannot be formulated from mineral oil alone.
• Shell's unique active cleansing technologyBlocks the formation of harmful deposits and helps to selectively remove them
• Active cleansingHelps remove the deposits left behind by an inferior oil.
• Excellent wear protectionHelps extend engine life through wear protection, even in daily traffic conditions.
• Excellent resistance to degradationHelps maintain protection throughout the drain interval.
• Low-temperature performanceRapid oil flow for faster engine warm-up.
• Low-evaporation formulationReduced oil consumption, for less frequent top-up
• Multi-fuel capabilityCan be used for gasoline, diesel and gas engines, and is suitable for biodiesel and gasoline/ethanol blends. Based on a severe sludge clean-up test. Based on the Sequence IVA engine test carried out at an independent laboratory. Compared with Shell Helix mineral oils. Based on the NOACK volatility test and equipment manufacturers' requirements.
