  •  Shell Pilipinas introduced their latest innovation, the Shell Advance City Scooter oil, at the 2025 Makina Moto Expo, designed for start-stop city driving.
In many busy cities in the country, motorcycles and scooters have been a reliable mode of transportation because of their capability to fast and easily navigate the streets especially when traffic. With its compact size, users find it easier to find parking spaces and its relatively lower fuel consumption makes commuting costs manageable. It also helps avoid delays when it comes to deliveries and daily travels to and from work.
However, the day-to-day use of gas-powered scooters demands consistent and reliable engine care to be able to perform at its best. Frequent oil changes, proper fuel management, and promptly addressing potential issues are some of the key maintenance practices to keep the scooter’s engine running effectively and efficiently.
The common misconception among scooter users is that oils used for manual motorcycles can also be used for scooters with automatic transmissions. Using oils meant for manual motorcycles in automatic scooters may lead to serious damage and issues such as clutch and early engine wear since the oils are designed and formulated for oil-cooled clutch found in manual transmissions. Misuse of the appropriate oils for scooters can result in reduced performance efficiency, leading to possible risks such as increased engine wear, overheating, and potential mechanical failure over time. Not only can these be a hazard to the scooter’s engine, but may cause danger for the riders.
To prevent this, it is highly recommended to use engine oil specifically formulated for scooters with automatic transmission. Making sure that riders can depend on their scooters for day-to-day use, Shell recognizes the need to provide high-quality fuels, lubricants, and engine oils specifically designed for automatic transmissions to improve fuel efficiency.
On April 3, 2025, Shell Pilipinas introduced their latest innovation, the Shell Advance City Scooter oil, at the 2025 Makina Moto Expo, designed for start-stop city driving. The new Shell Advance City Scooter is a fully synthetic 10W40 motorcycle oil specially developed for scooters, formulated to meet the specific challenges of urban commuting — such as frequent stop-and-go traffic and constant engine stress.
