Getting more from your bike

Shell Advance base oil blend is specially selected to help provide maximum protection to all key parts of a 2-stroke engine, especially the pistons, bearings and exhaust system. The choice of additives selected depends on the amount of stress and chemical attack that the bike components need to withstand.

As 2-stroke oil is fed into the bike via the fuel system, the oil and the important additives that protect it are continually consumed by combustion and replaced with a new fuel oil charge. As a result the oil is only exposed to the moving parts for a very short space of time before it is consumed by combustion.

It is therefore very important that the oil is of a high quality to provide the protection the engine needs. Shell Advance base oil blend is specially selected to provide this protection to all parts of the engine and is exclusively formulated to help keep bike engines and exhausts cleaner.

Using less sophisticated oils may result in higher friction and more wear to the bike leading to piston and cylinder scuffing, piston ring sticking and bearing seizure - problems that all affect your bike’s performance and ride. Shell Advance also minimises deposits during combustion, and so reduces the likelihood of blockages which can eventually lead to engine seizure.

Using Shell Advance also safeguards the engine from corrosion and helps to prevent other problems such as spark plug fouling, pre-ignition, exhaust system blockage and excessive smoke. All this adds up to a cleaner engine and exhaust system, helping your customers get the most out of their bikes for longer.

JPI tests show that Shell Advance VSX2 two-stroke oil keeps engines cleaner than other top oil brands.

*The higher the number, the cleaner the engine

The higher the number the more deposits. In comparison with other leading brands, tests show that using Shell Advance VSX2 results in less carbon-based deposit formation on different types of pistons and cylinder heads. Higher levels of deposits can affect bike performance and damage components.
