In a vibrant and glamorous evening at Shell Lugogo, Vivo Energy Uganda, the exclusive marketer and distributor of Shell branded products and services, unveiled its newest innovation  the Shell Helix Ultra 0W-20 SP, a top-tier lubricant set to redefine engine performance, protection, and efficiency across Uganda’s motoring world.

For motorsport this launch couldn’t have come at a better time. As the national rally season draws to a close, crews like Ronald Sebuguzi, Duncan Mubiru who were in attendence, and other Shell-sponsored drivers are fine-tuning their machines for the final showdowns of the year. The introduction of such a cutting-edge lubricant speaks directly to the heart of speed, endurance, and reliability, ensuring that both engines and ambitions finish the season as strong as they started.

The Shell Helix Ultra 0W-20 SP isn’t just another oil on the shelf. Its low viscosity ensures ultra-smooth engine operation, reduces friction, and enhances fuel efficiency  all critical for rally drivers chasing every fraction of a second and for everyday motorists seeking long-lasting engine life. The lubricant’s advanced synthetic formulation and innovative additives also give it carbon-neutral properties, pointing out Shell’s ongoing commitment to environmental sustainability.

Speaking at the launch, Vivo Energy Uganda Managing Director, Joanita Mukasa Asante, reaffirmed the company’s dedication to innovation and customer satisfaction.

“With the launch of Shell Helix Ultra 0W-20 SP, we are setting new standards in automotive lubrication technology. This unconventional product is designed to deliver unparalleled engine performance and efficiency, providing motorists with a driving experience like never before,” she said.

The event, attended by representatives from the Federation of Motorsport Clubs of Uganda (FMU) including Mr. Ray Kibira, Hajji Hamid Gombe, and Arthur Blick Jr., drew together Uganda’s automotive elite. Subaru drivers, bikers, and Shell’s loyal clients  from motorsport professionals to everyday car owners  gathered in unity, celebrating a product built to fuel both performance and passion.

For motorsport teams, the message was clear: Shell isn’t just fueling cars; it’s fueling dreams. Drivers like Sebuguzi and Mubiru, who understand the fine line between power and precision, are expected to benefit immensely from this lubricant’s superior wear protection  a key factor in maintaining reliability under Uganda’s demanding rally conditions.

But beyond the racetrack, Shell Helix Ultra 0W-20 SP is a gift to every motorist  from the daily commuter to the business fleet operator. It’s a statement that top tier technology should not be reserved for the racing elite alone, but accessible to all who value performance, efficiency, and sustainability.

So once again Vivo Energy Uganda has raised the bar. With Shell Helix Ultra 0W-20 SP, the future of driving  whether on Kampala’s city roads or the rugged rally stages of uganda is set to be smoother, cleaner, and faster.
