    Mineral engine oil is not as good as semi-synthetic or fully synthetic engine oil, **Although it is low, but it is really poor, if you don't care about the quality of the engine oil, the purchase problem is not very big. Anyway, I don't like this oil, it's really bad. Although the GT oil I am using now is higher than the mineral oil, the price ratio is higher, it is a four-class PAO base oil, and the PAO content of many engine oils is only about 10%, and the GT oil is over 50%, and the performance will be better, anyway, it is worth buying.

    Mineral oil, if my car is a low-quality car like Baojun, and then I often drive and solicit customers to make money, I will use Shell's mineral oil.

    If it is a bridge car within 100,000 yuan, for home use, at least it is also the engine oil with HX6 semi-synthetic or HX7 fully synthetic technology, which is much better for the car.

    If it is a car of more than 100,000 yuan, it needs to be cared for even more, and it is directly beyond Heineken.

    Its practical fully synthetic SN grade ash shell is not necessarily much more expensive than what you would use with other semi-synthetic and mineral oils.

    You calculate the money, labor costs, road expenses and time of the oil filter element, and you will know if you do the math.

    The total synthesis is changed once every 10,000 kilometers, and the mineral oil will be changed after 5,000 kilometers, and you will spend more maintenance every 10,000 kilometers, which one is more affordable?

    And then the mineral oil thing, unless the car runs a lot, it is maintained often. Otherwise, it is better not to have semi-synthetic and fully synthetic protection.

    Shell engine oil is one of the three major brands in China, and the cleaning ability is the best among the three major domestic engine oil brands.

    Shell, as the best cleaning ability among the three major brands of engine oil in China, can bring carbide, sludge and wear metal particles on the engine parts back to the oil tank through circulation, and flush the dirt generated on the working surface of the parts through the flow of lubricating oil.

    Shell's oils are very good, especially in the Helix Ultra class, the quality of the oil is very good, and it is very durable and long-lasting. It can reduce noise, engine shake problems, can also be alleviated, and overall the high viscosity of the Helix oil can reduce parts wear.

    Features of Shell motor oils

    Most of Shell's engine oil series are natural gas-to-liquids, which are purer than traditional base oils and have a more balanced molecular structure, so the cleaning ability is more prominent, more suitable for removing carbon deposits, the performance is quieter at low and medium speeds, and the power response is better. However, the quietness of medium and high speeds is poor, and the long-term performance is poor, so the oil change interval is short.

    Advantages and disadvantages of Shell motor oils

    Pros:

    The advantages of Shell motor oil are that it is clean, the oil viscosity is stable, it can remove engine deposits, it is not easy to produce sludge, and the engine runs more smoothly than in the same class, especially at low and medium speeds.

    Cons:

    The disadvantages of Shell oil are that it is noisy at medium and high speeds, and the oil change interval is short.

    1.Helix Ultra

    API viscosity: SL 5W-30 and SN 5W-40

    Shell Helix Ultra has two APIs and viscosity values, the API has SL and a more advanced SN; The viscosity is 5w-30 and 5w-40; It is designed for high-performance EFI petrol engines equipped with a catalytic converter and crankcase forced ventilation system. Delivering maximum protection and performance while maintaining engine fuel economy, Helix Ultra is up to 5 times more efficient at removing sludge than mineral oil, making cold starts easier. Good cleaning ability and stability, so that the whole oil change cycle to play a good performance.

    2.Helix Ultrar

    API viscosity: SN 10W-60

    Helix Ultra is Shell's racing oil, which is based on the Helix Ultra with a unique formula and is a product of joint research and development between Shell and Ferrari to meet the needs of racing and tuning car engines. The biggest difference between it and Helix Ultra is that UltraR has a higher viscosity of 10W-60, which is suitable for harsh working conditions and competition conditions, and has better wear protection.

    3.Helix Ultrae

    API viscosity: SN 5W-30

    Helix Ultrae is a top-of-the-line lubricant that reduces engine friction and improves fuel efficiency, with excellent stability and clean dispersion properties that absorb more and more dirt throughout the life of the oil, controlling it and preventing it from depositing on the engine. For car owners who are concerned about economy and environmental protection, it may be a good choice for you.

    4.Heineken HX8

    API viscosity: SN 5W-40

    Both the Heineken HX8 and Heineken Ultra range are fully synthetic lubricants, but HX8 is Shell's entry-level, fully synthetic lubricant and was launched in July 2013. It is between the Helix Ultra series and the Blue Shell, but in the two major e-commerce networks, the HX8's is higher than the Helix Ultra. The HX8 is made in Germany and Singapore, which may be the reason why it is higher than the Helix Ultra series.

    How is it different from the Helix Ultra series? HX8 has Shell's advanced power cleaning and dispersion technology, which has 5 times the cleaning power of ordinary mineral oil; It has better oxidation stability and better shear resistance throughout the drain interval; Selected synthetic base oils can reduce oil loss, excellent vibration and noise reduction, and make the ride quieter and smoother.

    Very good, Shell lubricants focus on cleaning performance, can be a good removal of sediments and impurities, at the same time its anti-wear characteristics are also particularly good, greatly improve the operating efficiency of the engine, prolong the service life, the lubrication effect is very good, has a long oil change cycle, and the disadvantage is that there are too many Shell fakes on the market, easy to buy fake products.

    The reason why it is not recommended to use Shell engine oil for old cars is that the gap between the internal parts of the engine of old cars is too large, and a lubricating oil with a large viscosity grade is needed to form a thicker oil film to protect the engine, while Shell's fully synthetic engine oil is still a Class III lubricating oil, which is far less stable than the PAO base oil is Class IV.

    There are many series of Shell motor oils.

    There are a variety of different types, divided by color, a total of 5 color packaging, each color represents a different use and level, but also for different models of use.

    The colors are gray shell, blue shell, yellow shell, red shell, and white shell, among which, gray shell refers to Helix Extraordinary and HX8, both of which are fully synthetic engine oils; The blue shell is a semi-synthetic motor oil, the yellow shell has HX6 and HX5, HX6 is a semi-synthetic motor oil, and HX5 is a mineral oil; Both red-shell HX3 and white-shell HX2 are mineral oils.

    When it comes to motor oil, the top three oil brands that come to mind are Shell, Mobil and Castrol.

    Each of these three brands has its own unique characteristics. However, if you talk about the characteristics of each of the three of them, you can know a little bit about them, but not everyone can know them clearly. The following is an introduction to the basic knowledge of engine oil and the advantages and disadvantages of each of the three major brands of engine oil.

    Types of oil.

    Engine oil can be simply divided into mineral oil and synthetic oil. Synthetic motor oil is divided into two types: fully synthetic and semi-synthetic.

    The biggest difference between mineral oil and synthetic oil is that synthetic oil can be used at a wider temperature, has a longer service life, and has a higher cost; The same oil film requirements can be achieved with a lower viscosity of synthetic oil, while mineral oil needs to be more dense than synthetic oil to achieve this requirement. In the same working environment, synthetic oil is more expensive because it has a much longer service life than mineral oil, but after comparing the number of oil changes, it is not much higher than mineral oil.

    Advantages and disadvantages of Mobil oils.

    The biggest advantage of Mobil motor oil is its longevity and athletic performance, followed by its high temperature resistance, but the engine is noisy.

    Advantages and disadvantages of Castrol motor oils.

    The most prominent advantage of Castrol oil is that it has better anti-wear effect than other engine oils, and the effect of reducing engine noise is also good; The disadvantage of Castrol oil is that the cleaning ability is not as good as that of Shell and Mobil products of the same grade, and the oil decays relatively quickly.

    Advantages and disadvantages of Shell motor oils

    Its outstanding feature is that it has strong cleaning ability, and the sludge and carbon deposits that are easy to produce in the engine can be filtered out, so that the engine can maintain a good working condition for a long time, and the disadvantage is that the oil change interval is short.

    It is recommended that if you are in a place where road conditions are always good, you can choose Shell, but you will need to change the oil frequently. If it's a cold place or a lot of short distances, choose Castrol, and if you need good power and heat protection, choose Mobil.
