What exactly is a long-term oil change and maintenance-free Shell engine oil？

[Original Truck House] China has a vast territory and changeable terrain. Long-distance transportation is not only a test for drivers, but also a high requirement for the durability of vehicles. For me, it is necessary to have excellent lubrication effect to ensure the long-term and high-load driving demand.

● 　“Latest progress of "Long Oil Change" project

In 2016, we cooperated with Jiefang to launch the 100,000-kilometer long oil change project of "Wan Li for Liberation, Shell for Worry-Free". The project has made a lot of investment and verification, and a total of 170 Jiefang units participated in the actual test and provided very valuable data.

At present, the "long oil change" project has been completely commercialized, and the long-term effect jointly developed by Shell and Jiefang has been stationed in Jiefang service station and the formulated parts agent. In the future, Shell will also develop a full range of ultra-long-life lubricants for other models of Jiefang, and adopt customized packaging to reflect its special identity.

● What is the oil that can run 100,000 kilometers?

According to the survey,At present, after most engine oils are used for 80 thousand kilometers, their oil film strength is not enough to protect engine metal parts. Continued use will not only greatly increase fuel consumption, but also aggravate engine wear.. In view of this situation, Mr. Shen Baowu, an expert in the application of Shell’s global solution products, said that the reason why Shell’s long-term engine oil can run continuously for 100,000 kilometers is because its base oil adopts natural gas to make oil, which increases the stability of refined oil.

Natural gas to oil process

The so-called natural gas to oil (GTL) refers to adjusting the molecular chain of natural gas by chemical methods, and converting it into base oil through a series of complicated processes. Compared with traditional oil,Synthetic oil made from natural gas is a clean fuel and does not contain sulfur, nitrogen, nickel impurities, aromatic hydrocarbons and other non-ideal components., its cleanliness is greatly improved.
