Purpose and Specifications

Shell Helix Ultra ECT C2/C3 0W-30 is a fully synthetic engine oil in a convenient 20L drum, designed for modern diesel and gasoline engines with advanced emission systems. It flows easily at cold starts down to -35°C for quick lubrication and stays thick at high temps up to 150°C, protecting against wear and deposits.

This low-friction formula cuts fuel use by up to 2.6%, keeps pistons 45% cleaner than required, and safeguards diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalytic converters from clogging. Ideal for vehicles needing ACEA C2/C3, API SN, VW 504.00/507.00, MB 229.51/229.52, or Porsche C30 specs.

• Key Benefits: Superior wear protection up to 4x better, unbeatable sludge control, and corrosion resistance 3x stronger.
• Extends engine life in extreme hot/cold climates and severe driving.
• Supports longer drain intervals up to 30,000 km or 12 months, per manufacturer guidelines.

When to Use / Replace?

Use in cars with DPF, turbochargers, or direct injection for max protection and efficiency. Perfect for European models like VW, Mercedes, Porsche. Replace every 15,000-30,000 km or 12 months, or sooner in harsh conditions like frequent short trips or dusty roads.

Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
