CARBON NEUTRAL ENGINE OILS FROM SHELL HELIX

The leading global lubricant supplier, Shell Malaysia launched its first carbon-neutral engine oils as part of its continuous commitment to provide consumers with a more sustainable choice of motor oil without compromising its high engine performance and engine protection, traits that have made Shell Helix renowned around the world. This engine oil is also the world’s first carbon-neutral lubricant made from natural gas.

This is one of Shell’s many initiatives to help reduce carbon emissions together with its customers, in line with Shell’s ambition to become a net-zero emissions energy business by 2050.

“Shell Malaysia is pleased to be able to provide a variety of low-carbon energy solutions to our customers, from electric vehicle charging and biofuels to now carbon neutral lubricants,” said Dato Ivan Tan, Chairman of Shell Malaysia.

“Increasingly, we will work on nature-based solutions to deliver high-quality carbon credits which can be used to compensate 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.”

Shell’s global portfolio of nature-based carbon credits will compensate CO2e emissions from the entire lifecycle of these products, including the raw materials, packaging, production, distribution, customer use and product end-of-life. Shell also works with projects around the world that help reduce CO2e emissions, while improving the lives of local communities and protecting biodiversity.

Customers choose Shell Helix because it is designed for high engine performance and improved fuel economy. Today, motorists are becoming increasingly aware of environmental choices and are looking for ways to reduce their own carbon footprint. With Shell and its differentiated products and services, it will help customers make a simpler choice to do so.

During the launch, Nyon Kam Yew, General Manager of Shell Lubricants Business Malaysia & Singapore, said, “Shell Malaysia is introducing the Shell Helix carbon neutral engine oil series under its super-premium fully synthetic range – Helix Power and Protect. These engine oils are formulated with Shell PurePlus Technology, which is made from 99.5% pure base oil² from natural gas, as well as trusted and recommended by Scuderia Ferrari”.

In conjunction with this launch, Shell Helix is also expanding its offerings with the introduction of 5W-40 viscosity grade under the Power variant, in order to meet the growing consumer demand. Shell Helix Power 5W-40 is specially designed for high power and performance vehicles, and it is suitable for a wide range of modern gasoline and diesel passenger cars. This newly launched engine oil is now available at participating Shell branded and independent workshops, where the recommended retail price for this four-litre pack in Peninsular Malaysia is RM 280, while in East Malaysia is RM 280.80.

To commemorate the launch, consumers 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.

As a measure to ensure the products are genuine before purchasing, it is highly encouraged that our customers look out for the “Untuk Pasaran Malaysia” logo on the front label of the bottle.
