Shell Advance 4T AX5 20W-50 lubricates 4-stroke motorcycle engines using a mineral base oil. Active Cleansing Technology stops dirt particles from agglomerating into sludge. The 19.1 mm2/s kinematic viscosity at 100°C maintains oil film integrity. This version upgrades the standard from API SG to SL and raises the viscosity index to 128 for superior performance over AX3.
Key Features
- Active Cleansing: Prevents dirt particles from bonding to internal engine surfaces. Keeps engine parts clean.
- Vibration Reduction: Lowers engine noise through a stable mineral oil film. Reduces vibration during rides.
- JASO MA2 Friction: Controls friction for 4-stroke wet clutch systems. Stops clutch slippage during shifts.
- High Flash Point: 240°C threshold prevents lubricant evaporation during high heat. Maintains oil levels in road dust.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Shell Advance AX5 20W-50 suitable for high-heat conditions?
The 240°C flash point prevents thermal breakdown during high-temperature operation. It maintains engine protection during slow-moving traffic in heavy heat.
Can I use Shell Advance AX5 20W-50 for a Pulsar 150?
This oil meets the API SL and JASO MA2 specifications required for air-cooled 150cc engines. Its 20W-50 viscosity provides the necessary seal for high-temperature operation.
