Manufacturer's description

Synthetic technology motor oil - Protection for vehicle emission systems. Shell Helix HX7 ECT features emissions-compatible technology that helps to keep diesel particulate filters clean to help maintain engine performance. It helps to minimise the formation of sludge and deposits.

Applications

  • Shell Helix HX7 ECT’s synthetic technology formulation uses Shell’s emissions-compatible technology to help gasoline engine exhaust catalysts and keep diesel particulate filters clean and protects it from ash build-up that can block the exhaust system and lead to reduced engine performance.
  • Shell Helix HX7 ECT can be used for modern gasoline engines, diesel engines with particulate filters and gas engines.
  • API SN
  • ACEA C3
  • MB-Approval 229.51
  • Meets requirements of MB229.31

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 emissions-compatible technology (ECT)Protects emission system by helping to keep diesel particulate filters clean.
  • Shell’s superior active cleansing technologyHelps to protect high-performance engines from power and performance-robbing deposits.
  • Excellent sludge protectionHelps to prevent engine sludge build-up.
  • Developed with special antioxidantsHelps to provide excellent oxidation protection throughout the oil-drain interval.
  • Low-temperature performanceFaster oil flow for quicker engine warm-up 1
  • Resistance to mechanical stressMaintains viscosity and stays in grade throughout the oil- change interval. 1 Compared with higher viscosity oils
