How many types does Shell have?
2 Answers
Shell is divided into 5 types, namely Gray Shell, Blue Shell, Yellow Shell, Red Shell, and White Shell. Introduction to Shell classification: Gray Shell is divided into Ultra and HX8, both of which are fully synthetic oils; Blue Shell is semi-synthetic oil, Yellow Shell is divided into HX6 and HX5, where HX6 is semi-synthetic oil, and HX5 is mineral oil; Red Shell HX3 and White Shell HX2 are mineral oils. Shell's oil series codes: HX is Shell's oil series code, and the number after HX indicates the higher the grade of the series. Common HX5 and 6 are Yellow Helix, also known as Yellow Shell. HX5 is the highest grade of Shell's mineral oil, while HX6 is semi-synthetic oil. HX7 is Blue Shell, commonly used for cars, and is the highest-grade semi-synthetic oil in Shell's range. The next level up is Ultra, also known as Gray Shell or Gray Helix. It is Shell's highest-grade fully synthetic oil, belonging to the hydrogen cracking + hydrogen isomerization base three-class synthesis.
When it comes to Shell's product categories, as someone who has driven for ten years, I've always preferred their products. Shell is mainly divided into several major categories: fuels, lubricants, and industrial oils. Fuels include gasoline and diesel. Among gasoline products, Shell V-Power is a high-octane fuel that provides quick power boost, while Shell FuelSave is an economical option for fuel efficiency. There are even more varieties in lubricants. The Shell Helix series is suitable for regular passenger cars, available in synthetic and mineral oil types; there's also Shell Rimula specifically for diesel vehicles. Industrial oils like Shell Tellus are used in machinery. Different types cater to different needs, such as choosing low-temperature oil in winter to prevent freezing. After switching to Shell Helix for my oil change, my car runs much quieter, which I believe can extend the engine's lifespan. As a car owner, I recommend selecting oil according to the manual and not skimping on costs.
