What’s the benefit of buying Shell Helix, when I can buy additives off the shelf and mix them with existing oil?

  • Updated
  • Engine oils like Shell Helix are fully formulated by Shell scientists, to protect your engine under all driving conditions and do not require the addition of any additives.
  • The use of off-the-shelf additives may upset the balance of the formulation and cause damage to your engine.
