More about the New thinner viscosity Shell Helix Ultra variant…

Shell Malaysia has also announced the launch of a new variant for its best-selling Shell Helix range of passenger car motor oils, Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30.

Priced at RM277.60 (including GST) for a 4-litre pack, the new Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30 is a thinner viscosity fully synthetic motor oil with API SN/ILSAC GF-5 specification that meets the needs of most of today’s modern passenger cars. Containing Shell’s proprietary PurePlus Technology and Active Cleansing Technology, the product helps:

Keep the engine clean by removing sludge left by inferior oils and preventing any further build-ups;
Ensure superior wear protection by preventing piston deposits up to 65% better than industry standards[1];
Prevent oil degradation through higher resistance to chemical breakdowns; and
Provide better fuel economy by using low-viscosity oil to reduce friction and meets the demanding ILSAC CF-5 fuel economy.

Shopee Marketing Lead Rachel Tan (L) & Shell Helix Brand Manager Alvin Leo

According to Shell Lubricants Marketing General Manager, May Tan, the 5W-30 viscosity grade was one of the most recommended viscosity grades for new cars. “In the new Shell Helix Ultra 5W-30 with SN specification, we have a product that offers a balance of fuel economy, engine protection and reliability that are synonymous with the Shell Helix brand. It is suitable for most modern cars ranging from the small compacts right up to large D-segment sedans and even performance cars,” she said.

The product is available at all Shell Authorised distributors and Shell Retail stations. Customers who purchase the product from Shopee, Shell Malaysia’s latest e-commerce partner, can enjoy exclusive special low price for limited period. For details visit www.shopee.com.my/shell.official.store .

“Our strategic collaboration with Shell is in line with one of our targets this year, which is to bring more brands online as the market and shopping behaviour changes rapidly. Users now want to look for convenience and fuss-free experience on top of the Free Shipping Across Malaysia and Zero (0) Commissions incentives, which Shopee is known for among our 9 million users,” said Ian Ho, Shopee’s Regional Managing Director.

SDAC Launches Ford For Food Online Contest 2018, Weekly Prizes Up For Grabs

Sime Darby Auto Connexion (SDAC), the sole distributor of Ford in Malaysia, has launched the ‘Ford for Food’ online contest to enhance consumer engagement while offering more interactive digital experiences for customers. “The ‘Ford for Food’ online contest builds on Malaysians love for food, especially Ford Ranger owners who are known to be foodies and avid gamers. The game provides an interactive and immersive way to showcase the various features and capabilities of the smarter, tougher and more efficient new Ranger,” said Syed Ahmad Muzri Syed Faiz, managing director, Sime Darby Auto Connexion.

The ‘Ford for Food’ online game and contest is open to the public for anyone aged 18 years and above and will go on until the end of the year. Each week, SDAC will give away three prizes in the form of exclusive SDAC-Ford merchandise. Weekly winners will be announced on the Ford Malaysia Facebook page at www.facebook.com/FordMalaysia. Featuring Ford’s most popular model in its most capable, powerful and versatile iteration – the Ford Ranger Wildtrak – the ‘Ford for Food’ game takes participants on a pre-defined route to different states throughout Malaysia, starting with Melaka, and highlights each state’s local delights.

Participants will go through three levels during the course of the game. Each level features a different driving condition – highway, off-road and busy city streets – to demonstrate the range of cutting-edge features and advanced driver assistance systems that has earned the Ranger its reputation as one of the toughest and most capable pickup truck in the world. As they “drive” through each level, players are tasked with picking up as many food items as they can to score points. Throughout the game, players can also activate key features in the Ranger as they collect food items to score additional bonus points.

The top three participants with the highest scores and fastest times cumulatively each calendar week will be the winners. Participants are encouraged to play the ‘Ford for Food’ game as many times as they desire within one calendar week to achieve their best results. Game results will be displayed on a leader board, which will be cleared each week.

To play the game, participants need only to visit the contest page on SDAC’s website www.sdacford.com.my and log in through their personal Facebook accounts. The ‘Ford for Food’ game and contest is mobile-friendly and can be played on smartphones and other gadgets in addition to PCs and laptops.
