What is DYNAFLEX technology or DYNAFLEX formulation?
DYNAFLEX technology or DYNAFLEX formulation are our names for our latest generation of advanced formulations for New Shell V-Power Unleaded, Shell FuelSave Unleaded and Shell FuelSave Diesel fuels.
- All of our latest generation of Shell fuels are formulated with our new DYNAFLEX technology.
- Just as petrol and diesel are different, we have developed unique DYNAFLEX formulations for each fuel type.
- Modern engines are becoming more and more efficient. As a result, fuels are exposed to tougher conditions (i.e. higher temperatures and pressures) which can lead to the formation of dirt on key fuel system components such as intake valves and fuel injectors.
- All DYNAFLEX formulations are complex blends that are specially designed to help maintain engine efficiency as the vehicle manufacturers’ designed. 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.
- Our New Shell V-Power fuels are designed to help clean away existing fuel system deposits and protect your engine.
- Our New Shell V-Power Unleaded and Shell FuelSave Unleaded fuels with DYNAFLEX technology also contain our new friction modifier which helps the piston assembly, found in the heart of engines, turn more freely to help reduce energy wasted as heat.
How does DYNAFLEX technology work in engines?
Our Challenge – Deposits in fuel systems
Shell’s team of scientists have created bespoke DYNAFLEX formulations for diesel and petrol engines. In creating our new DYNAFLEX formulations we drew on over 100 years of experience in fuels research and development. The world’s car manufacturers are on a quest for improved engine efficiency. Our new DYNAFLEX formulations draw on our experience and insights into the demands of both older and modern engines. Modern engines are becoming smaller whilst maintaining high power outputs and often use new technologies (such as direct fuel injection and turbocharging) to help achieve performance and efficiency.
Deposits can form, over time, on key fuel system components such as fuel injectors in diesel engines and intake valves/fuel injectors in petrol engines. Shell’s DYNAFLEX formulations are designed to help control dirt deposits in key fuel system components1. 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 tests in over 3 million km and over 250 cars.

- Friction reducing molecules help critical parts of your engine. No guarantees provided. Actual effects and benefits may vary according to vehicle type, vehicle condition and driving style.
- Boosted compared to Shells regular fuel. Compared to Shell's previous formulation of Shell V-Power Unleaded. Helps to clean key fuel system components such as intake valves and/or fuel injectors from the build up of performance robbing deposits. Friction reducing molecules help critical parts of your engine. 3x more molecules does not equal 3x more cleaning or friction reducing benefit. No guarantees provided. Actual effects and benefits may vary according to vehicle type, vehicle condition and driving style.
- Compared to Shell's previous formulation of Shell FuelSave Diesel fuel. Helps to clean key fuel system components such as fuel injectors from the build-up of performance robbing deposits. Actual effects and benefits may vary according to vehicle type, vehicle condition and driving style. No guarantees provided. See DYNAFLEX Technology section for more information.
- Compared to Shell's previous formulation of Shell V-Power Unleaded. Helps to clean key fuel system components such as intake valves and/or fuel injectors from the build up of performance robbing deposits. 30% more cleaning molecules does not result in 30% more cleaning power. Actual effects and benefits may vary according to vehicle type, vehicle condition and driving style. No guarantees provided.
- Compared to previous Shell FuelSave formulations. Friction reducing molecules help critical parts of your engine. Actual effects and benefits may vary according to vehicle type, driving conditions and driving style. No guarantees provided. See DYNAFLEX Technology section for more information.
- Shell V-Power Unleaded with 95 RON compared to Shell FuelSave Unleaded fuel with RON 93. Effective in octane responsive vehicles only, actual benefits may vary according to make, model, driving style and environmental conditions. No guarantees provided.
