Shell officially introduces the latest and greatest Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30

Admin 6:49 AM 0

I was at the official launching of Shell's latest Helix Ultra motor oil yesterday. It was a fabulous event where distinguished guests included valued customers as well as members of the media. The Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2//C3 0W-30 is Shell Lubricant's latest and most advanced product in the Shell Helix With PurePlus Technology range. It is the highest grade that Shell has and offers up to four times better wear protection than the industry standard.

We were entertained with food and drink whilst being briefed on the virtues of Shell's latest and greatest engine oil. Some of the food was as cutting edge as the engine oil as it was quite a fusion of different flavours that confused the heck out of our palettes. Anyway, back to the engine oil at hand, Shell Lubricants General Manager for Malaysia and SIngapore, Mr Leslie Ng (above- the chap in the tuxedo holding the Helix Ultra pack) told us that the Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 is also our most advanced formulation to date.

How advanced you say? 45% cleaner pistons to protect and maximise the engine’s working life and it can deliver up to 2.6% greater fuel economy or 16 kilometres more per tank. A slippery oil that can protect yet not create unwanted drag is what this engine oil is.

The product meets ACEA C2, ACEA C3,(one a rating for the standards of fuel economy, the other for clean emissions) and API SN specifications. Manufacturer approvals include: VW504.00/507.00, MB 229.52, MB 229.51, MB 229.31 and Fiat 955535.GS1. Do note that these ratings represent the most demanding standards within the motoring industry. if the engine oil complies with the standards mentioned above, then it is indeed a product worthy to be used for even the most simplest engines. In simple terms, use any engine oil with that has the above specifications even for a 2014 Proton and you're giving it the best protection for the engine that your money can buy.

As with most fully synthetic oils these days, the Shell Helix Ultra 0W-30 is backward compatible. This basically means that you could use it if you car only requires simple API SL ratings, VW 501/502 or MB229.1. But as always, read your car's owner's manual. Inside it is usually a chart on the types of engine oil you can use, from the thinnest to the thickest one can use - tip- The larger the number at the end (eg. 20W50 means a thicker viscosity than 0W30 - usually in tropical countries like ours the front number is of no concern as it is more for cold weather capabilities).

The new Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 is priced at RM338 for a 4-litre pack. It is actually aimed at the higher end of the car market where market forces (like the current financial quagmire Malaysia is facing) does not really affect those that would use the oil. It is also a fully imported product and is packed in the European Union.

Oh yes. I will be trying out the Shell Helix Ultra 0W-30 sometime within the next few months. It will go into the Perodua Myvi which recently benefited from an engine oil change at the recent Shell #lovemyride event. There it received the Helix Ultra 5W-40 with PurePlus Technology. It has been performing very well so far and when the oil change interval is up, the Helix Ultra 0W-30 will be used. For your information, the Myvi has been using fully synthetic 5W-40 for at least three previous oil changes. Prior to this the Myvi was on Perodua's w30 weight semi-synthetic engine oil. Now it will go back to its original factory oil grade but with a more premium engine oil. I will write about it once the oil change is done.

SHELL INTRODUCES NEW HELIX ULTRA ECT C2/C3 0W-30,

ITS MOST ADVANCED MOTOR OIL YET

New flagship Shell Helix Ultra motor oil delivers better fuel economy,

cleaner pistons and tougher corrosion protection

Kuala Lumpur, 6 October 2015 – Shell Lubricants has launched the latest and most advanced product in its Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology range.

The new flagship product from the Shell Helix range is formulated with patented Shell PurePlus Technology and features Emissions Compatible Technology (ECT), developed to help protect the emissions systems of the most modern diesel and gasoline engines. It also meets the technically-challenging industry specifications and approvals of top tier equipment manufacturers, including Mercedes and Volkswagen.

Speaking at the launch, Shell Lubricants General Manager – Malaysia and Singapore, Leslie Ng, said that the new Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 has the highest specifications of all motor oils in the market.

“Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 is also our most advanced formulation to date. It is designed to deliver superior performance and protection, to help keep your engine performing at its best. As with our Shell Helix Ultra products, this product is formulated using our revolutionary PurePlus Technology.

This means we can develop motor oils that exceed drivers’ demands for cleanliness and protection, as well as improved fuel economy,” he said.

Leslie pointed out that the new Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 was designed with multi-fuel capability and extremely well-suited for the most advanced, low-emissions vehicles. These vehicles are normally powered by diesel engines with particulate filters, high-performance gasoline engines or gas, bio-diesel and ethanol blend engines. It is also backward compatible with many OEM and industry specifications.

Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 formulation achieved superior results in industry standard tests, proving that no other motor oil cleans your engine better. Besides unsurpassed wear protection¹of up to four times more, it delivered three times better corrosion protection of engine components, helping to extend engine life.

Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 also produced 45% cleaner pistons to protect and maximise the engine’s working life and delivered up to 2.6% greater fuel economy or 16 kilometres more per tank.

Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 is formulated from natural gas using Shell’s revolutionary PurePlus Technology. This revolutionary gas-to-liquids technology process converts natural gas into a crystal-clear base oil with virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil.

Base oils make up on average 75-90% of the end product, so high-quality base stock with significantly more isoparaffins than others is a key component in top-tier engine oils. The base oil is then enhanced with Shell’s proprietary Active Cleansing Technology to create the company’s most advanced fully synthetic motor oil ever, which delivers higher levels of protection against build-up of engine deposits and unsurpassed sludge protection.

The product meets ACEA C2, ACEA C3, and API SN specifications. Manufacturer approvals include: VW504.00/507.00, MB 229.52, MB 229.51, MB 229.31 and Fiat 955535.GS1.

Shell's #Lovemyride Festival - 500 motorists get engine oil changes at a carnival

Admin 4:47 AM 0

A total of 500 lucky motorists enjoyed the ultimate engine rejuvenating experience for their cars at the first-ever “#LoveMyRide” Festival organised by Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd over the weekend. Acording to Shell Malaysia, a total of 378 cars received a free engine oil change on the first day of the festival, Saturday, June 13, 2015, to successfully create a new entry in the Malaysia Book of Records for the ‘most number of cars in a lubricant changing event. The overall target of 500 cars was achieved at 3.17 pm on Sunday, June 14, 2015, when another 122 cars underwent the free oil change. The two day event was held at MATRADE, Kuala Lumpur.

Shell Malaysia MD Tuan Haji Azman Ismail and Shell Lubricants GM Leslie Ng pour Shell Helix Ultra to symbolically open the Love My Ride Festival

I attended the event, bringing along my wife's trusty Perodua Myvi for the 'rejuvenating experience'. I got the Shell Helix Ultra oil change as well as a filling of Shell's V-Power Racing (about a quarter tank's worth as the car still had lots of petrol in it). This made me a participant in the Malaysia Book of Records. Of course, those who got the oil change was basically there to take advantage of the freebies. But I personally like using Shell Helix engine oil for my cars. Actually anything with the higher or correct grade of engine oil is what I like for my cars - which is why I do end up checking the contents as to whether it has the correct grade or not.

Out of the last six or so engine oil changes in the Subaru Impreza TS I owned, I have to say that around four of it was Shell Helix HX7. This is the semi syntethic grade offered by Shell Malaysia. and it worked perfectly fine for the car. The range of Shell Helix engine oils in Malaysia are the Helix Ultra fully synthetic, Helix HX7 semi-synthetic, HX5 and HX3 mineral based oils. You basically cannot go wrong with an established brand. Just keep with the service schedule required by the car's manufacturer and you're okay.

Yes. The Myvi ran smoothly after the oil change and the V-Power Racing. Speaking about V-Power Racing, it costs RM2.90 per liter at the pumps at the time of writing. A heck of a lot compared to the basic RON 95 that most of us use (RM2.05 per liter). But the thing is that in most smaller capacity cars V-Power Racing actually works quite well as it is much cleaner - Euro 4M rating compared to the mimimum Euro 2 grade that is still being offered, and that its octane rating is a minimum of RON97 (I think it feels closer to a Premium 98 grade used overseas). So the benefits are instantaneous from the first fill. Even a Myvi with some V-Power Racing in its tank feels a tad bit smoother and felt like it had a tad bit more performance too. Too bad it costs a fair bit.

Anyway, do read on down below. More pictures too as the event was not only about engine oil and fuel. The event had lots of food stalls and booths, fashion stalls, Mazda and BMW cars on display and other activities for those who brought their families. It was fun actually. I had hoped that there would be other manufacturers but Mazda and BMW were there are they are in an arrangement with Shell Malaysia and use their lubricants for servicing at the service centers. But a carnival nonetheless.

500 CAR ENGINES ‘REJUVENATED’ AT SHELL’S “#LOVEMYRIDE” FESTIVAL

Imagine a motor oil so pure that it cleanses your car inside out. Combine that with Shell V-Power Racing’s innovative formula and you are all set for an optimum driving experience,” said Tuan Haji Azman Ismail, Managing Director Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd.

100 student mechanics from Despark College and Shell Helix branded workshops; an estimated 6,000 litres of Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology fully synthetic engine oil; and 15,000 litres of Shell V-Power Racing fuel.

The exclusive treatment entitled each motorist to receive a complete engine oil change for their cars using Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology 5W-40 fully synthetic engine oil.
