Modern vehicle engine oils not only need to meet ever-changing specifications but also effectively improve engine performance and lifespan. In light of this, Shell has dedicated itself to developing a new technology that utilizes natural gas to produce a crucial component of its engine oil formulation – the base oil. Developed using PurePlus technology, Shell Helix Ultra is the first synthetic engine oil derived from natural gas, providing you with long-lasting, outstanding engine performance.

PurePlus Technology is Shell latest breakthrough synthetic technology can convert natural gas into a fully synthetic base oil that is as clear as water, containing virtually no contaminants or impurities commonly found in crude oil. Since engine oil typically contains 75-90% base oil, this breakthrough in base oil production represents a significant revolution in engine oil manufacturing.

Compared to conventional base oils most commonly used in the market, Shell PurePlus Technology's base oils significantly improve three key performance areas: viscosity stability, wear resistance, and volatility. This means that PurePlus Technology's engine oils can help extend engine life, reduce maintenance costs and fuel consumption, and effectively enhance fuel efficiency and engine cleanliness.
