What you need to know:

  • SVP is developed with enhanced high specifications to meet the above challenges and allow your small engine to run at its peak performance and efficiency.
  • SVP is designed with a higher Research Octane Number (RON) 95 which gives it unique anti cylinder knock abilities. Shell V-Power is designed to slow burn and prevent premature ignition.

I drive a Toyota Premio 1.8 litre on the highway and a boxer Bajaj motorcycle when upcountry. Whenever I fuel with Shell V-Power petrol these small engines feel more powerful and yet they run efficiently. How does Shell V-Power achieve this? Musenero Richard.

Shell V-Power (SVP) is a differentiated premium unleaded gasoline which is designed with enhanced specifications and attributes to allow an engine, no matter the size, to achieve its full potential. SVP achieves this by controlling and eliminating efficiency and power robbing conditions in the engine. Modern engines are becoming smaller and more efficient while maintaining high power to meet motoring demands.

These modern engines suffer from the efficiency and performance robbing challenges of internal combustion engines such as premature ignition and cylinder knock, friction and heat as well as buildup of deposits, gunk and corrosion in key fuel system components. Shell V-Power premium unleaded gasoline is designed and tested by Shell fuel scientists and mechanics in conjuction with F1’s Scuderia Ferrari, BMW motorsport and Moto GP Ducati teams.

SVP is designed with a higher Research Octane Number (RON) 95 which gives it unique anti cylinder knock abilities. Shell V-Power is designed to slow burn and prevent premature ignition.

Allowing timely ignition during combustion reduces harmful and power robbing cylinder knock. Shell V-Power is designed with Friction Modification Technology (FMT) to reduce loss of engine power and energy (fuel) due to heat and friction between the engine pistons and cylinder walls. SVP’s FMT uses a chemical friction modifier or lubricant in the gasoline to lubricate the upper piston ring which ordinarily runs dry. This frees significant amounts of would be lost energy by allowing the engine run lighter with less fuel demand.

Shell V-Power also uses the Dynaflex technology and nitrogen containing detergents designed more than 100 ago years to clean and protect key fuel system components such as intake valves, fuel injectors and lines. As the engine burns, a buildup of carbon deposits, gunk and corrosion will waste fuel, reduce engine power and damage the fuel system. SVP’s enhanced cleaning formulation works three times more to clean and prevent a buildup of the above performance robbing elements. The combination of the above Shell V-Power attributes will unleash the powerful beast in your small motor car and motorcycle engines.
