Synthetic technology motor oil - Helps to keep engines clean and running efficiently. Shell Helix HX7 Diesel helps to keep diesel engines clean and running efficiently by helping to prevent the formation of sludge and engine deposits. It is suitable for a wide variety of modern light-duty vehicles driven in demanding traffic conditions.
Applications
Shell Helix HX7 Diesel helps to prolong the engine life of modern vehicles in demanding daily traffic conditions by protecting against wear. Shell Helix HX7 can be used for passenger car diesel engines (without particulate filters)and it is also suitable for use with biodiesel.

Performance & benefits
Synthetic TechnologyUses both synthetic and mineral base stocks to achieve higher performance levels than can be formulated from mineral oils alone.
Shell’s unique active cleansing technologyActively locks away harmful performance-robbing deposits.
Helps to remove sludge left behind by inferior oils 2 Excellent wear protection 3
Helps to extend engine life by protecting against wear, even in daily traffic conditions.
Helps to maintain protection throughout the oil-drain interval. Low-evaporation formulation 1
Low oil consumption for less frequent top-up.
Compatible with modern fuelsSuitable for use with biodiesel. 1 Based on NOACK volatility test and equipment manufacturers’ requirements 2 Based on a severe sludge clean-up test 3 Based on Sequence IVA engine test carried out at an independent laboratory
