How To Choose The Correct Shell Oil Or Fluid
- Match the viscosity to the owner’s manual (e.g., 5W-30, 10W-40, 75W-90, 80W-90).
- Match the specification required (API, ACEA and any OEM approvals listed for your vehicle).
- Choose the correct fluid type (engine oil vs gearbox oil vs ATF vs grease) to avoid compatibility issues.
- Confirm capacity (1L, 5L, etc.) based on your service quantity.
Important: Always follow manufacturer service requirements. Correct viscosity and specification matter more than brand alone.
