Shell V-Power® NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline FAQs

Shell V-Power® NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline contains the highest concentration of our proprietary additive that removes up to 100% of performance robbing deposits. In fact, Shell V-Power® NiTRO+ contains six times the amount of cleaning agents required by federal standards.

Corrosion is caused by moisture and other contaminants that can make their way into a vehicle’s fuel tank. It can impact the fuel pump, fuel lines and fuel injectors. Furthermore, formation of particles from corrosive processes such as rusting of steel surfaces can contribute to the blockage of fuel filters, impacting overall vehicle operation.

Carbon deposits can build up on intake valves and fuel injectors, which can make your engine work less efficiently. Shell V- Power® NiTRO+ has six times the cleaning agents required to meet federal standards and removes baked-in deposits left by lower- quality premium gasoline, starting with the very first tank. With continual use of Shell V-Power® NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline, will help prevent future build up of carbon deposits.

Friction in your engine occurs as piston rings move against cylinder walls, generating heat, wasting energy, and reducing the overall efficiency of your engine. Too much friction can also damage metal surfaces, increasing wear on critical engine parts.

Wear can occur slowly, over time, when two metal surfaces rub against each other, leading to loss of metal from those surfaces. This can occur in the piston assembly, fuel pump and fuel injectors and can cause higher oil consumption, loss of power and higher emissions.

We test our formulations in industry standard laboratory procedures and bench engines, and in a range of vehicles found on the road today. We have clocked more than half a million equivalent miles of testing, including on direct injection engines.

Yes, Shell V-Power® NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline is Top Tier certified and meets or exceeds Top Tier standards.  All other grades of Shell gasoline are also Top Tier certified.
