-
Q: What is DYNAFLEX Technology?
- DYNAFLEX Technology is the name of the latest technology at the heart of the Shell-branded fuels portfolio.
- Just as gasoline and diesel are different, we have developed unique DYNAFLEX formulations for each type of fuel.
- DYNAFLEX formulations are complex blends that are specially designed and enriched with powerful cleaning agents to help maintain the cleanliness of key fuel system components, protecting them from performance robbing deposits, and helping to maintain engine efficiency1
- Our premium Shell V-Power Unleaded, with boosted DYNAFLEX Technology is also designed to help clean up existing fuel system deposits, giving performance as well as efficiency1
- They have all been developed to meet the demands of modern engines, as well as continuing to deliver benefits in more traditional engines.
-
Q: Is DYNAFLEX just a marketing term?
A: No. Our fuels scientists have rigorously designed and developed the latest Shell fuels based on the needs of our customers and advances in vehicle engine technology. DYNAFLEX Technology is the result of their work.
-
Q: What is the difference between regular and premium Shell Fuels?
A: All Shell Fuels with DYNAFLEX Technology are designed for efficiency, by helping to clean and protect key components on our customers’ engines.
Our premium fuel, Shell V-Power Unleaded, is boosted2 with higher levels of DYNAFLEX Technology which means it is also able to clean up existing deposits, helping to restore performance and efficiency.
-
Q: How much more efficient is Shell V-Power Unleaded than Shell regular?
A: It is not just the fuel formulation that determines engine efficiency. Many factors affect efficiency too – in particular, driving style (where gentler acceleration and braking can have a big impact) as well as other variables such as vehicle maintenance, tyre pressures and weather conditions.
Shell V-Power Unleaded is designed to deliver performance as well as efficiency. It is our most effective fuel at helping to improve engine cleanliness by removing deposits that have already formed - whereas our maingrade fuels are designed to help keep your engine clean and protected for efficient running.
In the case of Shell V-Power Unleaded, the enhanced octane quality over maingrade can also help to improve and contribute towards efficiency in octane responsive vehicles / cars.

Q: How do Shell fuels with DYNAFLEX Technology improve engine efficiency?
A: DYNAFLEX Technology in Shell fuels helps keep your engine clean and protected for efficient running. The innovative formulation helps keep key fuel system components, such as intake valves and fuel injectors, clean and protected from the build-up of performance robbing deposits for efficient running3. These dirt deposits can be hard to remove and can prevent your engine performing as its best. Think of your shower head at home. When lime scale deposits build up in your shower head this decreases its’ effectiveness. By preventing the build-up of these deposits, Shell Fuels with DYNAFLEX Technology are designed to help your engine run efficiently.
-
Q: How were Shell fuels with DYNAFELX Technology developed and tested?
A: Shell fuels with DYNAFLEX Technology have been developed by Shell’s international team of fuels scientists. The final fuel formulations are as a result of several years of intensive development and testing, both in the laboratory using engine test beds and on the road.
-
Q: Will drivers feel a difference when using Shell fuels?
A: Different engines and cars will respond differently to Shell fuels with DYNAFLEX Technology, according to individual driving styles, engine design and conditions. Try it and see what it can do for you.
-
Q: How much will Shell fuels cost at the pump?
A: The good news is that Shell FuelSave Diesel, Shell FuelSave Unleaded and Shell V-Power with the new DYNAFLEX Technology will be sold at the same price as current prices at our stations. Customers do not have to pay more for this new fuel despite the new benefits they will be enjoying.
