SHELL MALAYSIA has officially launched its first Shell Helix carbon neutral engine oil series under the super premium fully synthetic range of Helix Power and Protect.
Shell Lubricants Business (Malaysia and Singapore) general manager Nyon Kam Yew said these engine oils were formulated with Shell PurePlus Technology and made from 99.5 per cent pure base oil from natural gas.
He added that the level of usability was also recommended by partner Scuderia Ferrari.
The launch is also in line with Shell's ambition to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050.
"Shell Malaysia is pleased to be able sto provide a variety of low-carbon energy solutions to our customers, from electric vehicle charging and biofuels to carbon neutral lubricants," said Shell Malaysia chairman Datuk Ivan Tan.
"Increasingly, we will work on nature-based solutions to deliver high-quality carbon credits that can be used to compensate for the emissions generated when a customer purchases and uses a Shell product, such as the new Shell Helix Power 5W.
"This comes in addition to our existing efforts of responsibly reducing the carbon intensity of oil and gas operations, and investments in lower-carbon sources of energy," he added.
The Shell Helix Power 5W-40 viscosity grade under the Power variant is specially designed for high-power and performance vehicles and is also suitable for a wide range of modern petrol and diesel passenger cars.
It is available at participating Shell-branded and independent workshops with a recommended retail price of RM280 in Peninsular Malaysia and RM280.80 in Sabah and Sarawak for a four-litre pack.
To commemorate the launch, customers will also get an exclusive Shell Helix Bamboo Bluetooth Speaker with every purchase of Shell Helix Power 0W-40, Shell Helix Power 5W-40, or Shell Helix Protect 0W-30 four-litre pack at any participating outlets, while stocks last.
Shell also encourages its customers to look out for the "Untuk Pasaran Malaysia" logo before purchasing to ensure the products are genuine.
