The health and longevity of your engine is determined by what goes into it rather than what it goes through. More often than not, the stuff that gets into your engine do not get out easy. This is like how cholesterol choke the arteries in a human heart causing a heart attack. Similarly, sludge build up in an engine affects the reliability and performance in an engine.
Oil oxidation creates Sludge. It is a natural by-product that is produced during regular engine operation which builds up over time. Sludge is a thick dark substance that will clog oil passages leading to catastrophic oil starvation for crucial engine parts to function.
“Once sludge builds up in an engine it's difficult, if not impossible to remove.”, claims a renowned British lubricant brand.
However, independent lab test proves that Shell Helix Ultra synthetic lubricant eliminates five times more sludge from a petrol engine than regular mineral oils.
While regular mineral oils allows deposits to settle in an engine, Shell Helix Ultra contains Active Cleansing Technology which keeps dirt particles suspended within it’s oil and prevents them from causing engine failures.
Tests against other fully synthetic leading brands show that Shell Helix Ultra provides up to 30% more oxidation stability. This makes it harder for sludge to form thus preventing the formation of corrosive acids in the petrol engine.
Shell Helix Ultra not only prevents against sludge formation, it also flows faster to deliver protection during start-up when the engine is cold, and most vulnerable to wear. Shell Helix Ultra flows 4.5 times faster than 20W-50 oil at cold start.
Shell Helix Ultra is also developed to resist shearing. Shearing is caused during engine operation in extreme temperatures and stress where the oil molecules literally gets torn apart, significantly lowering its viscosity and capacity to protect an engine.
The benefits clearly outweigh regular oils, with Shell Helix Ultra’s Active Cleansing Technology and Shear stability, it is able to preserve its operating viscosity to deliver robust engine protection.
What you pour into your engine directly affect the performance, and longevity of your engine. So the next time you replace your engine oil, remember what you feed the engine does make a difference.
