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.

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
