Vivo Energy Mauritius launches three new generations of lubricants
Vivo Energy Mauritius, company holding the Shell franchise in Mauritius, is expanding its product range with three new generations of lubricants in the Shell Helix and Rimula ranges. Derived from a new generation of synthetic oil, these products help reduce greenhouse gases (CO2) 1 and save fuel2. They also meet environmental requirements and the needs of new vehicles on the market.
Shell Helix Ultra 0W20 motor oil with SN PLUS specification is designed with Pureplus technology and can be used by hybrid vehicles as well as compact gasoline engines requiring 0W20 grades, or even those that use 5W20 grades. This oil has a low friction formulation which allows fuel economy and therefore helps to reduce CO2 emissions.
Shell Helix Ultra ECT 5W30 C3, suitable for gasoline and diesel vehicles, is an approved oil for vehicles such as BMW, Mercedes, Nissan, Hyundai, Porsche and others. This product is imperative for all diesel vehicles that recommend the use of a low SAPS (or low SPAsh) lubricant. The particularity of low SAPS is the low rate of sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulfur contained in the product. It has the advantage of protecting the emissions systems and keeping the diesel particulate filter clean.
Rimula Synthetic 10W40 is a 100% synthetic oil which also has the low SAPS (or low SPAsh) characteristic. It was designed only for diesel or heavy goods vehicles such as buses, trucks or construction machinery, and can also be used by vehicles meeting Euro 2 - 6 standards.
Matthias de Larminat, Managing Director of Vivo Energy Mauritius said: ''Our products are now available in the market through authorized dealers, specialist shops and garages, and the Shell service station network. Already a leader in terms of the development of economical oils, Shell never develops a formula without taking into account the specifications of car manufacturers. Using a Shell product allows you to protect your engines as well as your investment. Always choose the best one so that your vehicle can perform at its maximum capacity. The market for automotive oils and lubricants is small and ultra competitive in Mauritius, it is imperative to constantly adapt our offer to meet automotive innovations and the expectations of users increasingly concerned about the good health of their vehicles. We are convinced that users will be able to give this new generation of motor oils a welcome that lives up to Shell's reputation.''
Lubricants Manager at Vivo Energy Mauritius, Bernard Domingue said that the engines being smaller while being more powerful, the choice of the right lubricant is therefore crucial for the proper functioning of the engine and its components.
Shell has maintained its leadership position in the global lubricants market for the 13th consecutive year. Its lubricants are approved by many car manufacturers including Ferrari, Maserati, BMW, Hyundai, Nissan, Toyota, Ford, Volkswagen.
