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.1
- Our New Shell V-Power fuels are designed to help clean away existing fuel system deposits and protect your engine.2
- 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.3

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 components.3 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.4
Our Solutions
Shell FuelSave Diesel
New Shell FuelSave Diesel is formulated with new DYNAFLEX technology that provides better protection against dirt build-up for older and newer efficient and demanding diesel engines.5
Shell FuelSave Unleaded
New Shell FuelSave Unleaded is formulated with new DYNAFLEX technology that contains friction reducing molecules and helps to clean and protect key fuel system components for engine efficiency.6
Shell V-Power Unleaded
New Shell V-Power Unleaded with DYNAFLEX formulation has been boosted with 3 x new friction reducing molecules compared to our previous formulation and also demonstrated to provide better performance under tougher conditions on the highway as well as in the city.2
New Shell V-Power Unleaded with enhanced octane quality compared to Shell FuelSave Unleaded helps engines to perform better by reducing uncontrolled combustion enabling the engine to extract more energy available from the fuel and deliver improved performance and efficiency.7
Disclaimers:
1Helps to clean key fuel system components such as intake valves and/or 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.
