Shell Helix HX5 C has been formulated with special base oils that thicken less than ordinary oils, making engine starting easier. It also contains cleansing technology to continuously prevent dirt and sludge build-up and reduce engine noise giving a smoother quieter drive.
Suitable for fuel-injected passenger car petrol engines fitted with ‘blow-by’ recirculation.
