Shell launches new Motor Oil in India

Shell Lubricants has launched their most advanced motor oil ever, featuring a base oil designed from natural gas. This next generation engine oil has been made available in India and is called Shell Helix Ultra with Shell PurePlus Technology.

The Shell Helix Ultra engine oil with PurePlus Technology is manufactured through a revolutionary Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) process that converts natural gas into a crystal-clear base oil with virtually none of the impurities which are found in crude oil. The result is Shell’s most advanced synthetic motor oil to date.  Shell PurePlus Technology is a revolutionary process to design pure, synthetic base oil, which delivers higher levels of cleansing and protection. It is produced at the Pearl Plant in Qatar; a partnership between Shell and Qatar Petroleum.

Speaking at the launch, Nitin Prasad, MD, Shell Lubricants India said, “We are proud to bring the revolutionary GTL technology to India. Developed through decades of research and development at Shell’s laboratories all over the world, the technology harnesses the power of gas to produce the next generation motor oils. In India, where the market is fast evolving towards synthetic products, we believe the time is right to introduce this innovation through our motor oils.”
