Is Blue Shell Oil Fully Synthetic?
1 Answers
No. The commonly referred to Blue Shell is the Shell Helix HX7 series lubricant, which is a semi-synthetic lubricant. Additional Information: Types of Engine Oil: Engine oils on the market are divided into three types: mineral oil, semi-synthetic, and fully synthetic oil. Blue Shell is a semi-synthetic lubricant, and its price is much lower than that of fully synthetic lubricants, while its performance is better than that of mineral lubricants, making it more suitable for economical vehicles. Differences: The differences among these three types of engine oils lie in their base oils, which also affects their replacement intervals and mileage. Semi-synthetic oil needs to be replaced after driving 7,500 kilometers, and it can be replaced with higher-priced fully synthetic oil. Engine oil ensures the normal operation of the engine and prevents unnecessary friction among the engine's mechanical components.
