We find out how Shell V-Power can rejuvenate the performance of your engine from the scientists behind it.
#promoted
The speed and precision with which an internal combustion engine operates is almost unfathomable. Along the pit straight at Bedford Autodrome, a BMW M5 CS is breaking through 130mph at the top of fifth gear and the crank is spinning at 7200rpm. The pistons are racing up and down the bores 120 times a second, met with perfectly timed bursts of fuel and air for unrelenting thrust. With such fine tolerances, any weak link in the chain will bottleneck the performance and efficiency an engine can offer; not least the type of fuel you’re using.
Shell V-Power first appeared at the pump more than 20 years ago, and the formula has been continuously developed to deliver the very best for the very latest high-performance engines and the technology that’s packed within them. To find out how it works to improve the performance and efficiency of your car, evo took a trip to Shell’s technical centre in Hamburg for a deep dive into the science behind V-Power.

All fuel leaves refineries as a base standard product. ie diesel or petrol. Tanker drivers add additives to the tank on delivery. ie red dye for red diesel etc. There are good internal cleaning products eg. Bardahl EGR, Turbo, Injector etc which should be regularly used every few thousand miles.

Just tried V-power on my bike by accident... we have petrol dispenser in Mauritius and I pulled near the V-power pump without realizing... My personal review is that I didn't have to go as hard as i'm used to on the throttle... the bike seemed to be gliding effortlessly on the road.. simply amazing... ❤

Since getting my new car , I've been using shell cos my company has given me shell card and pays for the fuel. Always used shell v power diesel. I could feel the difference when last week I had to use sainsburys due to some reason and I could not feel that power. It was not just me, my family asked me too if something is wrong with the car. They never knew that I had 57 litre of diesel from sainsburys.

It would have been helpful to get info regarding those of us that use Shell VPower Diesel regarding the benefits of using it on Diesel engines. Thank you.

It helps that the Shell stations in my country are discounting V-power once a week to almost the same price as the cheaper version (0.03 cents difference)

@xynostasos9022 9 ай бұрын

There is NO modern RON95 unleaded fuel today that does not contain additives. In fact, in Greece I've noticed misfires on RON98 V-Power on a vehicle with an old mono-point injection system. This did not happen with RON98 BP and RON100 BP fuels.

What about in Direct Injection engines like in that BMW?

@BLCKVD 4 ай бұрын

Well I have BMW made engine in my Peugeot RCZ which is direct injection so we DI engine boys can say byebye for any chance to any gas clean our intake valves, we will end up aaalways with gunk build up on intake valves, so I assume that atleast this v-power will clean inside our engine chambers and DI gas nozzles but propably nothing else

Interesting to see the transition to e-charging. How long before we get ‘digitally engineered electrons’ that give 3.4% extra range?

So is Shell saying that I should use high octane in my regular econo car, or is this for someone with a high-performance car who needs Vpower and uses something cheaper to save money?

Vpower can be used on a reg car once a while but daily on a performance car.

Garbage. If your car manufacturer recommends regular fuel, and you use a higher octane, you are wasting your money and may even be polluting more because it ignites slightly later in the combustion process. Some say the computer will correct for it by advancing the spark, however, why should you you get the same power from regular fuel. The only difference, perhaps is the additive package they may put in the regular verse premium, as it may have some more cleaning agents. It’s the same between brands as well. The difference between say Exxon/Mobil (Esso) and Shell is the additive package. But both have polyethylene amine cleaners. In the North America, including the United States, Canada and Mexico, and I don’t know if it’s in Europe yet, there is a certification called top tier that the oil company sign up to meet. Do not kill suppliers meet this requirement those they do supply a level of cleaner in the fuel that keeps the intake valves, clean on your engine no matter what grade you use.
