Fully synthetic motor oil - The next oil generation for oil cleanliness. Shell Helix Ultra SN PLUS uses its latest active cleansing technology to help gasoline engines operate to their full potential by keeping them as close as possible to factory clean. It provides unsurpassed sludge and wear protection.
Applications
Shell Helix Ultra SN PLUS’s fully synthetic formulation offers Shell’s maximum protection in very hot and extremely cold climates, and severe driving conditions.
Shell Helix Ultra SN PLUS is specially designed for the latest turbocharged gasoline direct injection (TGDI) engines to protect against damaging low speed pre-ignition (LSPI).
Also suitable for modern gasoline engines fitted with catalytic converters and blow-by-gas recirculation where 0W-20 viscosity grades are required. Particularly suitable for engines from General Motors requiring the GM dexos1™ Gen 2 performance.
Helix Ultra SN PLUS 0W-20 is suitable for use in vehicles currently using SAE 5W-20 grades, providing enhanced engine protection and fuel economy 1.
1 Applicable to vehicles where an API SN PLUS, SN, SM, SL or ILSAC GF-5 oil is required
Performance & benefits
Ultimate ProtectionShell Helix Ultra SN PLUS is one of our first oils to meet the latest API SN PLUS performance classification. It provides excellent protection against:
Wear
Deposits
Corrosion
Oxidation
Fuel EconomyIn addition the low friction, low viscosity formulation can help improve fuel economy compared to other common viscosity grades.
Low Speed Pre-Ignition Protection (LSPI)The latest highly rated turbocharged gasoline direct injection engines can be vulnerable to damaging LSPI events resulting from uncontrolled ignition of the fuel. Shell Helix Ultra SN PLUS has been specially formulated to control LSPI events and exceeds the requirements of both the Ford and General motors LSPI tests.
