Shell Helix Ultra Professional AR-L 0W-20
Shell Helix Ultra Professional AR-L 0W-20 is a premium fully synthetic passenger car motor oil developed to meet the demanding lubrication requirements of modern high-efficiency gasoline and diesel engines. The oil is formulated using advanced synthetic base oils and carefully balanced additive technology to deliver reliable engine protection, improved fuel efficiency and consistent lubrication performance across a wide range of operating conditions. It has been specifically designed to meet the technical requirements of modern Renault engines that require advanced low-viscosity lubricants.
One of the key advantages of Shell Helix Ultra Professional AR-L 0W-20 is its ability to support improved fuel efficiency. The oil’s low viscosity and reduced friction characteristics allow engine components to move more freely during operation, reducing internal energy losses. Reduced friction contributes to improved fuel economy and helps engines operate more efficiently while maintaining strong lubrication protection. These characteristics make the oil particularly suitable for modern engines designed to meet strict emissions and fuel economy standards.
The oil also provides excellent wear protection for critical engine components. During engine operation, parts such as pistons, camshafts and bearings operate under high loads and temperatures. Shell Helix Ultra Professional AR-L 0W-20 forms a durable lubricating film that reduces metal-to-metal contact between moving engine components. This protective film helps minimise wear and contributes to extended engine life while maintaining reliable lubrication performance throughout the oil drain interval.
Another important benefit of the oil is its compatibility with modern emission control systems. The formulation uses low levels of sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur to support engines equipped with diesel particulate filter technology. By helping prevent ash accumulation within particulate filters, the oil helps maintain efficient exhaust gas flow and protects emission control systems from premature blockage. This supports reliable vehicle operation and helps ensure compliance with modern emission regulations.
Shell Helix Ultra Professional AR-L 0W-20 is specifically designed to meet the Renault RN17 FE engine oil specification, which requires lubricants to deliver strong wear protection, improved fuel efficiency and compatibility with modern emission control systems. The oil also meets the ACEA C5 industry performance standard, confirming its suitability for modern engines designed to operate with low-viscosity, fuel-efficient lubricants.
The oil is suitable for use in modern gasoline and diesel engines requiring ACEA C5 lubricants and can be used in vehicles equipped with diesel particulate filter technology. Its advanced formulation ensures reliable lubrication performance and efficient engine operation under a wide range of driving conditions.
Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 38 mm²/s at 40°C and 7.7 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of around 175. The oil has a density of approximately 835.2 kg/m³ at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 234°C and a pour point of approximately –54°C. These properties support reliable lubrication performance across a wide range of operating temperatures and driving conditions.
