Graph of viscosity of oils versus ambient temperature

How 5W40 stands for

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

Advantages and disadvantages

To choose an engine oil, you want to know in advance what it will give to your car, and why it is better than similar products from other manufacturers. Here are the positive qualities Shell oil nx8 5W40 differs:

• High cleaning capabilities. Thanks to them, the product ensures impeccable cleanliness of the engine and all its components, thereby protecting it from wear, carbon deposits, oxidation, and corrosion. This, in turn, extends the life of the engine, which means it eliminates many problems with the car.
• Low volatility. This lubricant practically does not evaporate, so it does not require frequent topping up between replacements. This saves money. By the way, thanks to the protection against wear, this oil also saves fuel.
• Stable viscosity. The product retains its viscosity values \u200b\u200bthroughout its entire service life, even if it has to intensively dissolve carbon deposits and does not look very good when replaced. In addition, temperature extremes, severe frost and heat hardly affect the viscosity. This makes starting the engine easy regardless of weather conditions.
• Reduced noise. Shell HX8 5W40 normalizes friction, resulting in a different engine sound - much quieter and less vibration.
• Versatility. This lubricant is suitable for all engines in all modern cars, both passenger cars and SUVs.

Shell Helix HX8 5W40 reviews are different, both enthusiastically positive and sharply negative. Based on these reviews, you can get an idea of \u200b\u200bthe disadvantages of the product. So, many had problems with starting in the cold. It turns out that the optimal oil temperature is not up to -30, as the viscosity index claims, but up to -20-25. Not suitable for high-tech TFSI engines. Another disadvantage is the high price.

New anti-counterfeiting system. Now there is a tear-off sticker on the lid, under it there is a 16-digit code or QR code, using this code, by entering it on the official website, you can check if you have a fake or an original in your hands.

How to distinguish a fake

It is likely that many reviews of the low qualities of Shell Helix HX8 5W40 are due to the fact that motorists bought a fake under the guise of branded oil. After all, Shell products are one of the most frequently counterfeited in the world. It can only be identified by external signs.

Here is a verbal portrait of a real, genuine motor oil of this brand:

1. The canister is light gray, smooth, even, without flaws or defects.
2. The lid is the same color as the canister.
3. The lid looks one piece with the connecting ring, the latter, when opened, remains intact on the neck of the canister.
4. The label is firmly glued, the text is well read and printed without errors.
5. The label has a barcode surrounded by a white box on all sides, starting at 50.
6. There is a clear, unlubricated batch-code on the canister, which indicates the date and place of filling, the batch number.
7. There is a sticker with the name of the cleaning technology and a mirror - exactly mirror, and not just shiny - dusting.
8. There is a relief on the bottom of the canister.

When opening the canister, pay attention to the smell and color of the product. The smell should be characteristic of engine oil, not too harsh. The color is amber, pleasant. Not dark brown or black at all! The oil darkens after it has carried out its work to clean the engine from harmful deposits. Therefore, this color of the newly purchased product almost certainly means that under the guise of Shell products, you have been sold processing.

It is not worth taking the risk and pouring something into the engine of your car. After all, in this way you can cause irreparable damage to him. No matter how sorry the money spent, it is better to get rid of the counterfeit product and purchase a genuine one - in a large specialized store, from an official supplier.

• branded Shell filling stations;
• large supermarkets (Kemp, AGA, Auchan, Perekrestok, Lenta, Okay, etc.).

Oil brands currently on domestic market so many that any car enthusiast can easily get lost in this variety. In Soviet times, only two brands were offered. Therefore, there was not much to choose from, and such a problem was simply not known before. Well, each has its own time.

Today, those who want the best product have to search, explore and ultimately make difficult choices.

The article offers a short overview of Shell Helix Ultra. The reader will have to evaluate it. Here only the characteristics declared by the manufacturer are given, as well as experimental tests on a sample of this lubricating fluid, which were carried out by domestic specialists. What conclusion did they come to while doing research with Shell Helix 5W 40? We read on.

About company

The brand manufacturer is one of the largest oil and gas companies in the world. Shell Corporation invests heavily in various projects related to innovative technologies, environmental improvement, development of traditional and alternative energy sources.

But the product that the corporation produces is motor oil for cars. It is of three types:

• mineral;
• semi-synthetic;
• synthetic.

All these types are manufactured at the company's factories. Experts strive to obtain a new product and are constantly improving the package of additives included in lubricants. They have various functions and are intended to improve overall engine performance. Product advertisements are full of information about the magical effect that innovative molecules have on the motor. During the development, high-tech equipment is used, which ensures at the finish line a product with a high-quality composition.

Since 2012, the company's products have been manufactured in the Russian Federation. At the same time, a plant in Torzhok was built and put into operation, which has all the technologies that meet international quality standards.

Helix Ultra 5W 40

This lubricant is positioned by the company as an oil and gas concern. It is developed on the basis of a base that is obtained by synthesizing natural gas, not petroleum, unlike most fluids from other manufacturers.

By using this method, the product is guaranteed to be pure. Therefore, the cleanliness of the engine is ensured by neutralizing the acids that are formed during combustion that are too active.

The largest dealerships use and promote this particular product.

Shell Helix Diesel Ultra 5W 40 Oil

The lubricating fluid has a fully synthetic base. During the manufacture, as in the previous form, a special unique cleaning technology was used, which, according to the manufacturers, guarantees excellent uninterrupted protection of the motor parts of the car.

Shell Helix Diesel Ultra 5W 40 maintains all its quality characteristics until the next oil change. The engine with it will not run so noisy, and the car's motion as a whole will become even more smooth.

The lubricant is excellent for turbocharged or direct injection and pre-chamber diesels.

It also has a low chlorine content and, like all Shell oils, meets all required environmental standards.

HX8

This oil is described as being produced using a traditional technology that includes highly refined components. This is a synthetics designed for injectors that have

The oil is considered to be a high quality standard that, when used correctly and timely replacement the engine will work properly for a long time.

This oil is slightly cheaper than the Ultra class.

HX7

it semi-synthetic oil is in great demand among Russian buyers. Like any semisynthetics, it is obtained by mixing synthetic and mineral bases using high-tech equipment.

The lubricating fluid has excellent cleaning properties. It removes the current emerging dirt in the engine and prevents it from reoccurring. This increases overall productivity. power unit.

The oil can be used both for gasoline injection engines and for turbocharged diesel engines with an exhaust gas recirculation system and no soot filtration.

However, those who have tried other varieties of this brand claim that the product darkens too quickly compared to them. And this is due to the fact that semisynthetics does not purify as impressively as synthetic-based oil does. Therefore, those who previously used synthetics, having tried the option under consideration, later returned to the original choice.

Russian tests

The experiments were carried out on samples purchased from ordinary car dealerships in Moscow. The engine oil and 5W30 of the Ultra class have undergone the main tests.

During the tests, the lubricating fluid behaved calmly. That is, no outstanding qualities were found in her. At the same time, experts noted that she also did not show any negative trends.

Of course, it was expected that the motor shell oil Helix Ultra Sae 5W 40 and 5W 30 will give more impressive results. After all, the manufacturer declared such outstanding qualities and the highest class. But none of this turned out to be. Compared to other oils, this lubricant is of average quality.

The experimenters did not stop there and tried samples of a whole line of Shell oils. It turned out that the extra class practically did not differ from those that were much cheaper.

conclusions

These results lead to the conclusion that Shell Helix Ultra Sae 5W 40 is a good option for cars. It performed well in different situations, but experts cannot confirm that this lubricating fluid belongs to the extra class. According to the test results, they gave the oil a solid "4" grade.

On the one hand, this is a good mark, but given the characteristics that the manufacturer claims, the question involuntarily arises as to whether it is worth overpaying if Shell Helix Ultra 5W 40 behaves during experiments in the same way as its cheaper ones. "brethren".

At the same time, the test results are in some contradiction with individual user reviews, who claim that semi-synthetic cheap oil lost its properties faster than synthetics.

Whom to believe in this case, the reader will have to choose or verify this conclusion on his own. However, as practice shows, many reviews of motorists are purely subjective. After all, the behavior of the lubricating fluid in a particular car can be associated with a number of factors related, rather, to the nature of the engine of a particular car at a particular period of time.

At the same time, independent studies are designed to provide an objective assessment based on the results obtained experimentally.

Modern engines internal combustion evolve faster and faster, acquiring more powerful characteristics and focusing on economy in various directions. In order for these powertrains to function smoothly and have reliable protection, engine lubricant manufacturers have to develop new, improved, and better engine oils. Shell Helix HX8 5W40 is an outstanding representative of the modern dynasty of synthetic motor lubricants. The oil product has modern technology manufacture and today meets all the requirements of manufacturers of internal combustion engines.

Shell Helix HX8 is the best choice for modern enginerequiring special attention to ensure smooth operation.

Features of operation

One of the main quality characteristics of Shell Helix HX8 5W40 is its excellent dispersion properties. According to the company, with the constant use of this lubricant, all metal parts inside the engine will look like new, as if they have just left the assembly line. The active component of the detergent additives effectively neutralizes various negative deposits and at the same time resists the appearance of new ones. Soot deposits from carbon deposits are also broken down by the structure of the oil, without affecting the viscosity of the product.

Shell Helix HX8 5W40 is marketed as a multigrade grease. This parameter provides the engine with a smooth start after a long idle period and at any time of the year, even in severe frosts. This characterizes the engine very favorably for operation in regions subject to low subzero temperatures. Due to the stable viscosity and maximum fluidity, the circulation of the oil fluid occurs instantly, enveloping all metal surfaces of the parts before they receive irreparable damage from friction "dry".

Scope of use

Oil Shell Helix HX8 5W40 is approved for use in all types of internal combustion engines using gasoline or diesel as fuel. A special direction for work was obtained for engines with injectors and engines with an additional crankcase cleaning system exhaust gases.

Shell oil is effective in any power load applied to the powertrain. The engine is reliably protected in city traffic, when the movement alternates between forced stops and frequent changes in crankshaft speed. In this case, the operation of the oil pump is characterized by an intermittent supply of lubricant to the engine parts.

Vehicle movement with increased turnover on country roads and high-speed highways, it is also not a problem for Shell Helix HX8 5W40 oil. In addition, lubrication, together with the cooling system, protects the engine from overheating and resists premature wear of structural parts.

A synthetic oil such as Shell Helix Ultra, as well as its other cousins, HX8 and HX7, are the absolute bestsellers on the Russian market.

How Shell oil appeared in Russia

Royal Dutch Shell is a British-Dutch company that emerged from the merger of two companies from England and Holland at the beginning of the 20th century. The corporation is one of the top five leaders in terms of production, oil and gas processing, and production of lubricants. At the dawn of its activity, this commercial structure linked its business with Russia, supplying kerosene by tankers to the Middle East from the Caspian Sea region.

Today Shell produces oil, conducts exploration work in 80 countries of the world. The corporation owns 22 large oil refineries. On the European continent, they are located in the Netherlands, Great Britain, France. A large oil refinery was also built in Torzhok, on the territory of the Russian Federation. In terms of quality indicators, its products are not inferior to other enterprises of the company, since the plant operates on imported equipment. Due to the minimization of delivery costs for Russians, motor oils are relatively inexpensive.

Range of products

Today the most popular product for passenger cars is Shell Helix engine oil, which is marketed in several series. For freight transport and other heavy equipment products are marketed under the Shell Rimula brand.

All of the above series are intended for servicing piston engines running on gasoline and diesel fuel. They have different temperature and viscosity characteristics, and also differ in composition and quality characteristics. Serves motors of various modifications, including the most modern ones. For the latest engines Shell Helix Ultra greases are designed with systems for neutralizing harmful components in the composition of combustion products.

Properties and characteristics of НХ8

The relatively inexpensive synthetic product Shell Helix HX8 SAE 5w40 is very popular with Russian motorists. This oil is better in its performance than its semi-synthetic counterparts HX7 and HX6. Viscosity characteristics allow the lubricant to be used in almost all climatic zones of the Russian Federation.

All working properties, including cranking crankshaft and pumpability through the channels of the lubrication system, remain up to frost -35 ° С. The grease solidifies at a temperature of -46 degrees. The oil is universal - it can be poured into atmospheric, multi-valve and turbocharged power units - both gasoline and diesel.

The viscosity index is 172, which is a good value for HC synthetic base mix. The high flash point, equal to 242 ° C, characterizes the low volatility of the liquid. Kinematic and dynamic viscosity, measured under laboratory conditions, fully comply with the limits defined by the SAE standard. The sulphated ash content of 1.11% allows the lubricant to be classified as a full ash oil. This means that it is not recommended for use in diesel engines with soot filters, as well as in engines with multistage exhaust gas converters.

Shell Helix HX8 SAE 5w 40 has several unique qualities:

• Optimally realizes all the possibilities of the engine.
• It has additives manufactured using the patented Active Cleansing technology. They clean the motor as much as possible from harmful deposits. The calcium level is 2753, which is very high.
• Friction modifiers included in the grease are based on the use of organic molybdenum and boron. Allows you to save fuel and easier to start the engine at low temperatures.
• Antiwear additives, made on the basis of phosphorus (940) and zinc (1021) compounds, can significantly increase the engine life before overhaul.
• Thanks to antioxidant additives and high base number (10.98), oil mixture does not age long.

Engine oil specifications are at the highest level. American aPI standard defined product classes as SN / CF. The European classifier ACEA has defined the quality and scope of the levels A3 / B3, as well as A3 / B4. The product has approvals and approvals from such giants of the automotive industry as Mercedes Benz, BMW, Renault, Volkswagen, Citroen / Peugeot. Meets Fiat requirements. It is worth noting that this oil is the only one in the world that has received official approval for Ferrari cars.
