From a wide range of fuels and motor oils to credit card services that make it easy to fill up when you’re on the go, Shell helps you get the most out of every drop.
Shell’s differentiated fuels have been launched in more than 40 countries to meet the individual needs of its customers. Some of the products we offer include Shell V-Power, Shell V-Power Racing, Shell V-Power Diesel and Shell Diesel Extra. The benefit of each product and its availability differs by country.
Shell V-Power
What is it that makes us want to move more, further, and better? Whatever your reason, here at Shell we are passionate about helping to improve the way you move. And if you care about getting the most from your car, then Shell V-Power could help enhance driving power and deliver superior performance.
Shell V-Power actively cleans for better performance.
On today’s tough, demanding roads, performance is what counts. At Shell, we believe all great performances begin with a clean engine. Shell V-Power premium gasoline can clean up deposits on intake valves and fuel injectors left behind by low detergent gasolines. That’s because it contains more than five times the amount of cleaning agents required by government standards. Shell V-Power is also recommended for vehicles that can benefit from higher octane (check your owner’s manual for the octane level recommended for your vehicle.)
How Shell V-Power works under your hood.
The power source in today’s vehicles is a sophisticated, computer-controlled engine that operates on a basic four-stroke combustion cycle.
That cycle consists of intake of fuel and air, compression of the mixture, ignition and subsequent power, and finally exhaustion of the combustion products. Proper combustion depends on a precise mixture of fuel and air at the time the spark plug fires.
A vehicle’s engine needs to draw fuel and air (oxygen) in precise quantities. It’s important the engine has the maximum amount of air and the exact amount of fuel to burn with this air under all driving conditions.
Use of low detergent gasolines can allow deposit materials to build up on your engine’s intake valves and fuel injectors. This material can cause less efficient mixing of air and fuel and result in incomplete combustion in some cycles. Tests prove that, with regular use, Shell V-Power can remove those deposits that low detergent gasolines leave behind.
Shell V-Power Racing
We work closely with the Ferrari team in Formula One to develop the highest performance Shell V-Power Racing fuels. These learnings are used to develop Shell fuels for road cars, to help power and protect motorists worldwide.
Shell V-Power has been formulated by the Shell scientists who developed Ferrari’s Formula One race fuels. Its unique cleaning agents and Friction Modification Technology have been formulated to help increase an engine’s responsiveness and improve driving performance. Read more about Shell V-Power.
