  • Shell Helix HX8 can be used in gasoline, diesel (without particulate filters) and LPG engines, as well as in engines running on biodiesel and gasoline/ethanol blends
  • Meets the API SN PLUS and API SN test requirements.To find the right oil for your vehicle or equipment, please consult the Shell LubeMatch service at http://lubematch.shell.com
