Shell Helix Ultra is the FIRST motor oil made from natural gas.

It uses PurePlus Technology, a revolutionary process that delivers crystal-clear base oil made from natural gas with virtually none of the impurities found in crude oil – making it 99.5% pure, based on paraffinic hydrocarbon content and significantly higher level of iso-paraffins compared to typical Group II and III base oils

Shell Helix Ultra Professional AM-L 5W-30 for gasoline and diesel engines is approved against the technically challenging Mercedes-Benz MB 229.51 (may be used in Mercedes-Benz diesel engines with or without a DPF), BMW LL-04 (May be used in gasoline engines in the EU, Norway, Switzerland & Liechtenstein) low- SAPS specifications.

It is formulated especially for use in diesel engine vehicles using diesel particulate filter (DPF) technology.

Its low-SAPS formulation helps to protect DPF systems from plugging.
