Meeting the latest API SP standard, the new Shell Advance Ultra 10W-50 offers superior power, performance and protection.
The launch highlighted Shell Malaysia’s ongoing commitment to bringing world-class MotoGP technology and innovation to local motorcyclists.
Shell Lubricants Malaysia/Singapore and Southeast Asia Cluster General Manager, Darlina Mohd Sibi said that Shell Advance, Malaysia’s leading motorcycle oil brand, continues to strengthen its technical partnership with Ducati Corse, delivering world-class innovation from the MotoGP track to everyday Malaysian riders.
“Our flagship product, Shell Advance Ultra, is co-developed with Ducati and tested under extreme conditions to deliver unmatched power, protection, and performance on both road and track.
“We are deeply grateful to our riders and mechanics whose passion fuels our journey forward. Their trust and dedication embody the spirit of Shell Advance, inspiring us to keep pushing boundaries every single day,” she said.
A recent blind test comparing Shell Advance Ultra with an ester-based lubricant demonstrated clear results; participating riders consistently chose Shell Advance for its superior acceleration, smoother gear shifts and quieter engine performance.
As the only motorcycle engine oil used and recommended by Ducati Corse, Shell Advance has powered Ducati to historic success.
This year, Ducati Corse celebrated a triple MotoGP victory—winning the Teams’ World Championship, Constructors’ Championship, and Riders’ Championship with Marc Marquez at the helm.
The Shell Advance Ultra also boasts impressive long-term performance: retaining horsepower across a wide range of speeds for up to 20,000 km, ensuring an over 90 per cent cleaner engine, and improving fuel efficiency by up to 5 km per litre.
Ducati Corse Sporting Director Mauro Grassilli said they take great pride in working with Shell Advance to drive technological innovation and deliver Ducati Corse’s championship-winning performance to riders around the world.
“For more than two decades, Ducati Corse has trusted Shell Advance at the highest level of MotoGP racing, and this year we are proud to celebrate their sixth consecutive MotoGP Constructors’ Championship together.
“It is a privilege to bring that same winning technology to Malaysian riders, so our riders can experience that proven performance on our roads," he said.
The unveiling of Shell Advance Ultra also marked the launch of the #CrazyGoodOil campaign in Malaysia, headlined by Ducati Corse riders Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia.
The campaign featured a series of engaging trade and consumer events nationwide to showcase the product’s race-tested quality.
The Shell Advance range also includes other premium products such as Advance Power 15W-50, Advance Long Ride 10W-40, and the AX7 semi-synthetic series (10W-40, 15W-50), offering riders a variety of high-performance lubrication options.
