DYNAFLEX Technology

What is DYNAFLEX technology and how does it work in engines?

What is DYNAFLEX technology?

  • The development of our new range of Shell fuels with DYNAFLEX technology is the culmination of a multi-year research and development program which involved extensive testing in over 3 million km and more than 250 cars.1
  • All DYNAFLEX formulations are complex blends that are specially designed to help maintain engine efficiency similar as to how the vehicle manufacturers’ have designed modern engines to be more efficient. DYNAFLEX technology works by being enriched with powerful cleaning agents to help maintain the cleanliness of key fuel system components and protect them from performance robbing deposits.2
  • Our Shell petrol fuels with DYNAFLEX technology contain our new friction reducing molecules3 which helps reduce friction at the piston assembly, found in the heart of engines.
  • Our Shell V-Power fuels are also designed to clean and protect your engine, giving you our best for your car.4
  • Our FuelSave Diesel fuels contain powerful new and improved dirt-busting molecules for better protection against dirt build-up.7

Our Challenge – Deposits in fuel systems

In creating our new DYNAFLEX technology, we drew on over 100 years of experience in fuels research and development, including insights into the demands of both older and modern engines. Modern engines are becoming smaller (i.e. downsizing) and more efficient. As a result, fuels are potentially exposed to tougher conditions (i.e. potentially higher temperatures and pressures). Over time, this can lead to the formation of deposits and dirt on key fuel system components, such as intake valves and fuel injectors that can reduce engine efficiency.

Our Solutions

Shell FuelSave 95

DYNAFLEX technology in Shell FuelSave 95 contains our latest generation of friction-reducing molecules.3 Friction occurs when moving parts slide over each other and can result to energy being wasted that can lead to inefficient engines. One key area where frictional energy losses occur is between the upper piston ring and the cylinder wall.

There are now 20% more friction reducing molecules than previous Shell FuelSave 95 formulation.3 These new friction-reducing molecules in Shell FuelSave 95 with DYNAFLEX technology works by providing a shield that protects the engine against one of the two main enemies of efficiency – friction and dirt.5 Our new Shell FuelSave 95 with DYNAFLEX technology, helps to reduce engine friction whether you are cruising the highway or stuck in traffic.6

Shell FuelSave Diesel

In diesel engines, dirty injectors can contribute to inefficient combustion. DYNAFLEX technology in Shell FuelSave Diesel contains powerful new and improved dirt-busting molecules for better protection against dirt build-up.7 The new dirt-busting molecules in DYNAFLEX technology helps achieve a clean and efficient diesel engine.8
