Shell Helix HX5 has been formulated with cleansing technology. It works harder to protect than ordinary motor oils by continuously preventing dirt and sludge build-up and reduce engine noise.
For Gasoline and Diesel engines; Fuel-injected vehicles fitted with ‘blow-by’ re-circulation.
Naturally aspirated or turbo-charged indirect injection diesel engines fitted with ‘blow by’ re-circulation.
