SEPANG, 25 October 2025 — Shell Malaysia celebrated 26 years of its technical partnership with Ducati Corse, in MotoGP by unveiling the new Shell Advance Ultra 10W-50 (API SP), a premium motorcycle oil trusted by riders worldwide. This event took place at the 2025 MotoGP, which was held in Sepang International Circuit today.
Formulated with Shell PurePlus Technology, a revolutionary process that converts natural gas into crystal-clear base oil with 99.5% purity, Shell Advance Ultra is engineered to deliver superior power, performance and protection. Now meeting the latest API SP standard, the premium range enables riders around the world to ride on with confidence.
“Shell Advance, Malaysia’s No. 1 motorcycle oil brand, continues to elevate its technical partnership with Ducati Corse — bringing world-class innovation from the MotoGP track to everyday Malaysian riders. Our flagship product, Shell Advance Ultra, is co-developed with Ducati and tested under extreme conditions to deliver unmatched power, protection, and performance on both road and track.
We’re deeply grateful to our riders and mechanics whose passion fuels our journey forward. Their trust and dedication embody the spirit of Shell Advance, inspiring us to keep pushing boundaries every single day,” shared Darlina Mohd Sibi, Cluster General Manager, Shell Lubricants MY/SG and Southeast Asia.
A recent blind test1 pitting Shell Advance Ultra with an ester-based lubricant revealed a clear outcome with participating riders consistently choosing Shell Advance for its proven performance with better acceleration, gear change and engine noise.
Shell Advance is the only motorcycle engine oil used and recommended by Ducati Corse, and this longstanding technical partnership has powered Ducati Corse to secure a historic treble in winning the 2025 MotoGP Teams’ World Championship, Constructors’ Championship and Riders’ Championship with Marc Marquez. Shell Advance Ultra retains horsepower across a wide range of speeds for up to 20,000 km2, delivers longer lasting performance with over 90% cleaner engine3 and improved fuel efficiency of up to 5 km further per litre4.
“We’re proud to collaborate with Shell Advance to push the boundaries of technological innovation and bring Ducati Corse’s winning performance to riders everywhere.
For more than two decades, Ducati Corse has trusted Shell Advance at the highest level of MotoGP racing, and this year we are proud to celebrate their sixth consecutive MotoGP Constructors’ Championship together. It’s a privilege to bring that same winning technology to Malaysian riders, so our riders can experience that proven performance on our roads,” said Mauro Grassilli, Ducati Corse Sporting Director.
The launch of the Shell Advance Ultra kicks off the Shell Advance #CrazyGoodOil campaign in Malaysia, featuring Ducati Corse riders Marc Marquez and Francesco Bagnaia, with a series of exciting trade and consumer-led engagements set to follow.
