How well do Malaysians know their cars? According to Shell, Malaysian motorists log an average of 250 million hours in vehicles every year. That puts a lot of engine stress, even for your daily commute. It’s also said that Malaysians are now increasing their oil change intervals to an average of 8,600 km.
Obviously, the engine oil plays a vital role in keeping your vehicle running, and with the typical engine breakdown cost in the country estimated to be between RM3,000 to RM5,000, it’s important for you to choose the right motor oil. That being said, studies have shown that six out of 10 Malaysians are clueless about this, and aren’t well versed with the types of engine oils that are available.
That’s where Shell Helix Ultra with PurePlus Technology and Active Cleansing Technology Additives comes in. Shell’s latest motorsport-proven engine oil features an ultra-clean base oil made from natural gas. It utilises a revolutionary gas-to-liquid (GTL) process, developed over 40 years of research, that converts natural gas into a crystal-clear base oil with virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil.
In the case of the top-end Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30, it boasts four times improved wear protection, three times better corrosion protection of engine components, 45% cleaner pistons and up to 2.6% better fuel economy, or an increase as much as 16 km per tank.
Shell says the Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 is the highest-specification engine oil in the market, and meets European ACEA C2 and C3 and North American API SN specifications, as well as major carmaker approvals including from Mercedes-Benz (MB229.52,MB229.51 and MB229.31), Volkswagen (VW504.00/507.00) and Fiat (955535.GS1).
All being said, studies again have shown that nine out of 10 Malaysians experienced a positive driving difference with Shell Helix. Its benefits of cleaning and protecting the engine, better fuel economy and keeping the engine powerful are not mere claims.
