Shell and Ducati are two brands symbiotic with each other.
Time flies and it’s been 21 years of collaboration between the petroleum giant and maker of exotic motorcycles. To celebrate that union, Shell and Ducati announced the renewal of their technical partnership, on the eve of the 2019 Shell Malaysia Motorcycle Grand Prix.
The partnership began in 1999 during Ducati’s age of dominance in the World Superbike Championship. Since then, they have celebrated championship titles together. Shell followed Ducati when the manufacturer ventured into MotoGP in 2003.
The technical partnership extends beyond the racetrack. Each motorcycle that leaves the Ducati factory at Borgo Panigale in Bologna, Italy is filled with Shell V-Power petrol and Shell Advance engine oil. As such, Ducati recommends Shell fuels and Shell Advance engine oils to Ducati owners.
Back on the track, the awesomely powerful (the most powerful MotoGP bike, in fact) Desmosedici GP uses Shell Advance engine oil. Shell then introduced the new Shell Advance with PurePlus Technology to the bikes four years ago.
MotoGP organisers limit fewer and fewer engines year after year, in an effort to cut down on spending to encourage more teams to join. The effect of this ruling is that manufacturers must make their engines more reliable. Using more engines than the allocated units will result in penalties, which no team regardless of position needs.
Releasing the full potential of the fierce Desmosedici GP’s engine is one thing, but the engine oil must also play an essential and critical role of ensuring reliability. How many times have we seen Ducati MotoGP bikes break down due to engine trouble? Virtually none.
The partnership has secured more than 200 wins in both WorldSBK and MotoGP and they will continue to win more.
Ten very lucky mechanics from across Malaysia had the rare opportunity of receiving awards from Ducati’s MotoGP rider, Andrea Dovizioso. They’ll be representing Malaysia at the 2019 Shell Advance Masterclass competition on 4 November 2019 against other elite mechanics from India, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam.
Around 750 motorcycle mechanics and workshop owners from around Malaysia took part in this special training program organised by Shell Malaysia in collaboration with Ducati Malaysia as an initiative to further enhance their skills in motorcycle repairs and maintenance. They’ve also developed online videos to help educate fellow mechanics around the nation on proper bike maintenance.
These individuals were awarded at an exclusive ‘meet the fans’ session (also organised by Shell Malaysia) in conjunction with the 2019 Shell Malaysia MotoGP weekend that’s just around the corner. Shell Malaysia Trading’s Managing Director, Mr Shairan Huzani Husain was also present to award these fine bike mechanics ahead of their global competition next week. Also present was Shell Advance Malaysia’s brand ambassador, Fattah Amin.
Shell Malaysia Trading Sdn Bhd has launched two new variants of Shell Advance AX7 semi-synthetic motorcycle engine oil.
The new Shell Advance AX7 10W-30 and 15W-50 are both priced at RM33.90 per 1-litre pack (recommended retail price) and complement the existing Shell Advance AX7 10W-40.
According to Shell Lubricants Marketing General Manager May Tan, the popular Shell Advance AX7 now offers three viscosity grades (in addition to the Shell Advance AX7 10W-40).
“This enables motorcyclists to choose a premium semi-synthetic engine oil from Shell Advance that best suits their riding needs,” she said.
All three grades feature Shell’s proprietary Active Cleansing Technology that provides complete protection for your bike. The benefits include:
The new, thicker Shell Advance AX7 15W-50 promises smoother power delivery and better protection for engines that run for long periods under high stress conditions.
The new and thinner viscosity Shell Advance AX7 10W-30 provides excellent engine protection and offers better fuel economy, enabling your motorcycle to go for up to 3 km further compared to mineral oils.
The existing Shell Advance AX7 10W-40 has a well-balanced formulation that meets the needs of almost all types of motorcycles in daily riding conditions. It is ideal in providing the necessary protection for frequent stop-and-go traffic conditions.
However, it is advised that consumers follow OEM recommendations on the viscosity grade and quality rating of engine oils, as stated in the respective owner’s manual for optimal performance.
The new products are blended and packed in Malaysia and come with ‘Made for Malaysia’ front labels that identify them as genuine Shell Advance products meant for sale in Malaysia.
The new front label can be peeled to reveal a unique QR code for quick product authentication, while the label at the back features product information in English and Bahasa Malaysia.
“This is part of a strategic investment by Shell Malaysia to protect the interests of both motorcyclists and trade partners by enabling them to clearly identify official and genuine products. The presence of counterfeit and unauthorised products in the market is affecting customer confidence. The on-going introduction of the new ‘Made for Malaysia’ Shell Advance range is a key step to address this issue,” added Tan.

Oh, we know how it’s like at MotoGP. You ride there all hyped up about the atmosphere and race ahead of you. You’re thinking about the glitzy new bikes on display, opportunities to selfie with hot models, win some exclusive prizes, see your heroes in action.
But the road starts to get hectic by the time you near Sepang International Circuit. On top of that, you have to find a place to park your bike. That’ll be RM20, please. And there’ve been rumors circulating around that parts of the bikes go missing. Oh dear.The solution is? Shell Advance Ride-Thru.
It couldn’t get any simpler:
All for a minimum of just RM30.
However, if you also opt for the Add-On Package, you will receive:
For just another RM30.
So, not only could you enjoy the race in peace, but your motorcycle would’ve been taken care of in the best possible manner when you return. It’s almost better than selfies with hot MotoGP models.
Sometimes, dreams do come through, especially for Khairil Anuar Abdul Rasol, 35, when he won a brand-new Ducati Monster 797 through his participation in the recent Shell Advance Buy & Win Consumer Contest.
“My discipline did payoff. I have always only used fully synthetic Shell Advance Ultra as it goes further without impacting the performance and makes my bike feel lighter and more powerful. I was surprised when I received the call informing me of the good news. I am so thrilled as I did not expect to win the Ducati Monster,” shared Khairil, who is a Technician by trade.
The contest was held between 1st April to 31st May 2018. It was open to any motorcycle owner who purchased any of Shell’s Advance 4T motorcycle engine lubrication worth a minimum or RM 25 or more in a single receipt from authorised Shell Advance retailers.
The contest was aimed at rewarding bikers who are passionate and trust Shell Advance products to protect their prized motorcycles.
Shell is the Technical Partner of Ducati in MotoGP, allowing them to develop products that benefit motorcycle owners worldwide with cutting edge technology, such as the Shell Advance Ultra with PurePlus Technology. “PurePlus” derives its name from its virtually pure and crystal-clear base oil which is derived from Shell’s Gas-to-Liquid (GTL) process. A clean base oil is important in ensuring a lubricant that not only provides the best protection, but also holds its performance for a longer period of time without breaking down and leaving harmful deposits in the engine.
As such, every new Ducati which leaves the factory is pre-filled with Shell Advance Ultra with PurePlus Technology.
Look out for more great programs from Shell Malaysia, such as the one at the Shell Malaysia MotoGP from 2nd to 4th November 2018.
