Description of oil

Shell's synthetic products produces on its own unique technologies that have no analogues in the world. One of them is PurePlus, the technology of producing the clean engine oil from natural gas. Such oil practically does not have extra impurities, so that it does not turn into a nagar inside the engine.

In the aggregate with actively cleaning - and also developed by Shell - additives Active Cleansing supports the purity of the engine. Nagar is not only not formed. If he was already inside the motor, then this engine oil is soluble, returning the original purity returning items. And at the same time does not lose its qualities from replacement before replacement.

In addition, in the production of its motor oils, the company Shell takes care of nature. Therefore, all its products, including Shell Helix NH8 5W40, with proper use and compliance with the safety of safety, is absolutely harmless to humans, animals, plants and ecology. However, recycle residues lubricants It is necessary to properly, at special points. You can not drain in the reservoirs and on the soil.

First of all, Shell Helix HX8 5W40 is focused on modern cars operating on gasoline, gas and diesel fuel. However, it can well be combined with biodiesel, and with ethanol mixtures. Suitable for any new generation cars. This product is used and recommended such manufacturers of vehicles as Fiat, Renault, BMW and Ferrari. The latter takes part in all the developments of the company Shell, testing new products, including in the Racing Formula 1 chambers.

The viscosity schedule of oils depending on the ambient temperature

How 5W40 is decrypted

5W-40 viscosity index indicates that this is the All-season oil (the letter W - from English Winter) and retains its best performance in temperature range from minus 30 to plus 35-40 degrees Celsius. The lower the number in front of the letter, the lower the temperature that oil can withstand. Accordingly, the higher the digit after the letter, the higher the temperature it takes place.

Advantages and disadvantages

To choose engine oil, I want to know in advance that it will give exactly your car, and how it is better than similar products from other manufacturers. This is what positive qualities are the oil of the Shell NX8 5W40:

• High cleaning opportunities. Thanks to them, the product provides impeccable purity of the engine and all its components, thereby preventing it from wear, nagar, oxidation, corrosion. This, in turn, extends the life of the engine, and therefore eliminates many problems with the car.
• Low evaporation. This lubricant is practically not evaporated, due to which it does not require frequent advantages in the period between replacements. It saves funds. By the way, thanks to protected from wear, this oil also saves fuel.
• Stable viscosity. The product retains its viscosity performance throughout the service life, even if it has to dissolve the Nagar and when replacing it looks not very good. In addition, the viscosity almost does not affect the temperature differences, heavy frost and heat. This makes the engine launch easy regardless of weather conditions.
• Reducing noise. Shell HX8 5W40 normalizes friction, so that the engine begins to sound differently - much quieter, in addition, vibration decreases.
• Universality. This lubricant is suitable for any engines of any modern carslike passenger and SUVs.

Shell Helix HX8 5W40 Reviews have different how enthusiastically positive and sharply negative. Based on these reviews, you can make an idea of \u200b\u200bthe disadvantages of the product. So, many have been noticed problems with running in the frost. It turns out that the optimal oil temperature is not up to -30, according to the viscosity indicator, and to -20-25. Not suitable for high-tech engines type TFSI. Another minus is a high price.

New fake protection system. Now there is a disruptive sticker on the lid, there is a 16-digit code or QR code under this, by this code, entering it on the official website, you can check, in your hands a fake or original.

How to distinguish fake

It is likely that many reviews about the low qualities of Shell Helix HX8 5W40 are associated with the fact that under the guise of branded oil, motorists bought fake. After all, the products of the company Shell are one of the most frequent in the world. You can only identify it by external signs.

Here is a solvent portrait of the present, genuine engine oil of this brand:

1. Canister Light gray, smooth, smooth, without flaws and defects.
2. Cover of the same color as canister.
3. The lid looks in one whole with the connecting ring, the last when opening remains intact on the neck of the canister.
4. The label is tightly glued, the text is well read and printed without errors.
5. On the label there is a barcode surrounded by a white field from all sides, starts at 50.
6. The canister has a clear, unwashed Batch-Code, which shows the date and place of bottling, the party number.
7. There is a sticker with the name of the cleaner technology and the mirror - it is mirror, and not just brilliant - spraying.
8. On the bottom of the canister there is a relief.

When opening the canister, pay attention to the smell and color of the product. The smell should be characteristic inherent engine oil, not too sharp. The color is amber, pleasant. In no case is not dark brown and not black! Darmest oil after he holds its engine cleaning from harmful deposits. Therefore, such a color has just acquired product practically, it means that under the type of production Shell sold you to work.

Do not risk and pour into the engine of your car it is not clear that. Indeed, in this way, it is possible to put it irreparable damage. No matter how sorry for money spent, it is better to get rid of the fake product and acquire a genuine - in a large specialized store, from the official supplier.

How 5W40 viscosity is decrypt

This oil has an all-season viscosity class. To designate the viscosity class, its marking is used. This is how 5W40 is decrypted. The letter W is taken from the beginning of the Winter's word, which translated from English is read as "Winter". It is denoted by lubricants suitable for use in the cold season. And since numbers stand on both sides of the letter, it means that it is also used in summer, and in winter.

The first number facing the letter is a viscosity indicator for SAE with low temperatures. To calculate the minus limit, to which the oil will be stable, you need to take away this number from forty. In our case, 40 minus 5 is 35, that is, the product viscosity is stable up to minus 35 degrees Celsius. The number after the letter means the maximum temperature with a plus sign, to which the viscosity is also stable. It turns out that the product is optimal used in the range from minus 35 to plus 40 degrees Celsius.

Advantages and disadvantages

Synthetic high-quality base, effective modern additives, excellent specifications - all this leads to the fact that Shell Helix Oil HX8 5W40 uses excellent demand all over the world.

Release form and articles

How to distinguish fake

Under this sticker is 16-digit and QR codes, with which you can check the authenticity of the oil.

Fake Shell HX8 5W40 motor oil can be found more often than I would like. And such an incomprehensible alone in the brand canister can cause a serious blow to the car engine. How to distinguish fake even before the oil fell into the motor? Three recommendations will help it:

1. Buy lubricant only from official distributors. For the hero of our review, this branded refueling of Shell, as well as large supermarkets of Kemp, Aga, Auchan, Crossroad, Ribbon, Okay and others. A complete list of distributors can be viewed on the official website in the WWW.SHELL-DISTRIBUTOR.RU.
2. Carefully inspect the canister before buying. The original shoulder tight, but flexible plastic, the cover of the same color as the canister. There is necessarily a sticker with a mirror spraying, on which the name of the technology is written. The bar code is always surrounded from all four sides by a white field, and also begins with a number 50, regardless of who the manufacturer is more precise, at what plant it is manufactured. And the label on the turn consists of two layers.
3. Check the authenticity of purchased oil on the site www.ac.shell.com. There must be a 16-digit or QR code, which is on the lid of all new canisters (after 10/03/2016) under the protective sticker. If you are not fake, confirmation will come.

And of course, you need to pay attention to the quality of the packaging as a whole. It should be impeccable - unacceptable crumpled crooked labels, glue drums, lubricated text, cover, leaving the protective ring, roughly sealed side seams.

Important! It is worth reading the description of the product on the official website and remember the article. The latter is especially important when ordering funds via the Internet.

Motor oils Shell are very often forged, as these lubricants are very in demand among drivers. The attackers are trying to deceive consumers in every way, issuing their product under the guise of quality. But to achieve fraudsters of the level of the original container, it fails, since the packaging from under lubricants is constantly upgraded by the manufacturer. This is done so that the company keeps the reputation.

Having bought the products of handicraft production, the consumer has a high chance to face very poor-quality falsification. If a similar composition is pouring into the engine, then power point Soon will fail. The fake will never respond to the viscosity-temperature parameters, so the oil shell on the surface of the working parts and mechanisms will not protect them from external adverse factors. If the consumility is too viscous, the vehicles of the car motor system will not work. In the opposite case, the lubricant simply spreads to the installation and the contacting of the working surfaces will increase, and this is fraught with premature wear.

If the quality of the consumable material is at a very low level, the work zone will be covered with nagar and soot.

The cost of motor fluid shell is not small, so for economical drivers this purchase option can be not considered. As a rule, a consumility, a volume of 4 liters costs about 3 thousand rubles.

The aggressiveness of cleaning the motor system. Car oil very effectively removes dirt and tag, which makes a lubricant unsuitable for use in old motors. Deposits can accumulate and gather together, which leads to a blockage of some engine parts.

In severe cold, when the frost is already below 30 degrees, the engine oil already loses its professionality. Therefore, drivers who live in the northern regions of the country, where minimum temperatures are below 30 degrees, it is necessary to make a choice in favor of another consumable material.

How to distinguish fake

1. What a canister with an oil component looks like. Special attention should be paid to the design of the packaging, as the manufacturer of consumables is constantly improving the protection against fakes. The appearance of the canister can be viewed on the official resource of the company. It is worth noting if a canister came across to the eyes of the consumer with the old designer decision, then this may also be the original. The fact is that the product is suitable for use for 5 years. Therefore, it makes sense to believe that Tara remained on sale from the past. To check the mixture to originality, you should find on the package of the release date.
2. What material and how good the container is made. It should be sniffed to the container. High-quality packaging will never have an unpleasant smell, it does not shine on the light, and the soldering traces barely noticeable. If there is a roughness, unpleasant fragrance and "oak" plastic on the container, then these are signs of falsification.
3. Product label. Text on the information label in the Shell motor oil is always in the center. The circulating label is a two-layer. Printing should be a clear on both sides. There are no spelling errors in the text. On the front side, the glossy logo of the PurePlus technology is recorded, applied using a special road instrument. If there is no this symbol on the canister, it says about the fake.
4. Cover on the canister. Tint and quality of plastic must match the packaging. The density of the plastic cap exceeds the density of the container. Under the lid there is a retainer, which, when calusaged from the canister, makes a click.

In order to maximally protect yourself from buying a low-quality product, you should follow the proven stores and official representative offices involved in the spread of original products.

Tried this oil In Lada Largus engine. Feelings are not very. The oil is not fake (checked) tolerances are present on the package therefore bought. After opening the canister paid attention to the weak smell of Gary, the oil is dark. Maybe, of course, something in a tall on the veil, not that, but the car is rude on it. Tight gains momentum, gasoline consumption has become more. It is worth noting a very low packaging quality. Canister is pretty thinned, the plug is well kept. After opening the canister if the oil remains there, it can climb from under the cover. From protection only the number of the party. Departure 1000 km away and changed. The oil is too high for the price, it is clearly not worth it.

Maslice is so so ...

After buying this oil, I was disappointed in Shell. The engine does not work on it, and very bad. Steel hydrocompensators knock on the cold, now with the arrival of cold weather, the oil is thickly thick, the starter after the night is heavy. I didn't even have such a lairback when the fate was forced to refuel the engine MaNNOL. And the compensators were not knocked, and the gasoline consumption was slightly less, and in general, the engine worked much softer. Although where is the quality of doubtful than in Mannol. Like this. P.S. The oil was bought from a large company widely known in Belarus and beyond, therefore the probability of fake is minimal.

For: not found, oil and oil. Nothing outstanding.

Against: The engine began to work louder and "stripped" littered the hydrocompensation of the fuel consumption of fuel in the frost

Poured this oil, because I started sweating the motor. I used Xenum GPX 5-40. I had to go, TK. Tortured to buy 1000 r per liter. It turned out, let oil caps. Replaced the sufferers MSK and poured this oil. In general, it stopped there, except now, the seal of the distribution. In winter, entered quite easily. Unlike Mobile1, which lils when, starts pretty lung. Below -15, though not tried. Regarding xenum, the motor works clearly noiser, although the fuel consumption has not grew so much much than the same Mobile-1. In the spring I will replace the camshaft seal and go back to xenum.

The oil is not bad, the motor works well with it. However, after it, deposits remain in the motor, cleaning abilities are far from so high as promised.

Positive reviews

good day, about Shell, I will tell my opinion on it for ten years on grasintetic different machines And any problems are good luck!

excellent oil. In 12 Hu Lil and in Largus Lew. In minus 20, only so so. I'm thinking only in the subway I think there is no fake.

i checked on the authenticity by the barcode scan before buying, everything is OK. This winter will test this oil with autorun. Later accomplish your goal. Well, the month of winter behind that I want to say the engine began to work better, there are no problems with the autorun ... TRUCE The temperature was -14 Update from 01/14/18 on Street -20 I decided to start with the rank of autorun wounded the first time. I got it to Cannist decided to check the fluidity of the oil remaining there. Liquid oil, fluid at -20. Everything is fine

5 years already, from the moment of the purchase of his priors, I fill only this oil. Not a single problem by engine watched all the time

I do not know how this oil could not please the previous speakers, but the oil in terms of price / quality is very decent. On the profile sites of Chem. The analysis shows that the oil is almost identical to Shell Helix Ultra, which costs 30% + more expensive. Objectively, the difference between HX8 and ULTRA The ordinary manner will definitely not feel. I have no compensators on HX8, the oil is almost never goes out despite the active style of riding. The only confuses that now it is done in Russia, and so excellent oil at an affordable price. For medium-budget (not turbocharged) Auto this is the perfect choice.

Ideal oil for medium-budget cars

Good synthetic motor oil, many use it. I used to use the semi-synthetic of the same brand, then I switched to it and never regretted it. It has good viscosity and frost resistance. Even in the frost I start a car without problems.

Verified brand, excellent quality. For a long time I use Shell Helix HX8 5B40, suits completely. Disadvantages did not find. It is consumed very little, does not burn out. In the process drawn, but this is normal, it should be.

Satisfied with the oil Shell Helix NX8 5W40 completely. It cleans well, lubricates, disappeared the stuffs of hydrocompensators, everywhere and always in stock. They say a lot of fakes, but I haven't come across, fortunately.
