In 2016, Shell Helix unveiled Malaysia’s first engine warranty programme, the Shell Helix Engine Warranty (S.H.E.W). The program covered the costs of repair or replacement of 15 engine components that may fail if it is ascertained that the Shell Helix motor oils fail to provide proper lubrication and protection. Available for free to Shell Helix users, S.H.E.W. is available to personal passenger vehicles that are registered to operate within Malaysia which are eight years old or less.  Shell Helix has recently increased eligibility to cars with mileage of 150,000 km or below.
