Shell Helix HX6 10W-40 1L Semi-synthetic oil for petrol, diesel and gas engines API SN PLUS ACEA A3/B4 Protection against wear sludge Low consumption Anti-LSPI technology

Shell Helix HX6 10W-40 is a synthetic technology oil designed to extend engine life, even under demanding daily use conditions. Its advanced formulation offers excellent resistance to oil degradation, ensuring optimum protection throughout the entire interval between oil changes. It is ideal for users seeking a balance between performance, durability and engine cleanliness in both modern and older vehicles. Thanks to its Active Cleaning Technology, this lubricant prevents the formation of deposits and sludge that impair engine performance. Keeping the engine clean is key to maintaining efficiency and reducing internal wear. This property helps maintain the vehicle's original performance for longer, even in engines subjected to frequent starts, short journeys or severe urban conditions. One of its most notable features is its protection against LSPI (low-speed pre-ignition), which is common in modern direct-injection, turbocharged petrol engines. LSPI can cause serious engine damage, and Shell Helix HX6 is specifically formulated to minimise this risk, offering a clear advantage over conventional lubricants in this type of application. Shell Helix HX6 also offers effective wear protection, proven through industry tests such as the IVA Sequence. In addition, it has a low evaporation rate, which translates into lower oil consumption and less need for replenishment between changes. These properties make it suitable for both petrol and diesel engines without particulate filters, as well as engines that use gas, biodiesel or ethanol blends. How to use: recommended for vehicles requiring a 10W-40 lubricant in accordance with API SN PLUS or ACEA A3/B4 specifications. It also meets the requirements of VW 501.01 / 505.00, Renault RN0700 and Mercedes-Benz MB 229.3. Always check the manufacturer's manual before use. Do not mix with other lubricants. Avoid contact with skin and dispose of used oil at an authorised collection point.
