Ducati Corse Performance 15W50 Oil by Shelll Advance

Ducati continues to bring cutting-edge racing technology to enthusiasts with Ducati Corse Performance Oil powered by Shell Advance. Developed through collaboration between Ducati and Shell, this high-performance lubricant incorporates technology and expertise gained from decades of competition in MotoGP and the Superbike World Championship.

The development of this specialized oil draws on 23 years of technical collaboration between Ducati Corse and Shell, helping transfer racing-derived technologies directly into production Ducati motorcycles. Racing innovations such as dry clutches, DLC-treated piston skirts, and gun-drilled connecting rods have all contributed to the development of advanced lubrication solutions.

Racing-Derived Performance

Ducati Corse Performance Oil powered by Shell Advance utilizes Shell PurePlus Technology and a specially selected combination of base oils and performance additives designed to reduce internal friction.

Compared with the standard Shell Advance 15W-50 lubricant, the Ducati Corse formulation delivers:

• Up to 10% reduction in friction
• Increased engine performance and maximum power
• Racing-derived additive technology developed in collaboration with Ducati Corse
• Advanced lubrication designed for high-performance Ducati V4 engines with dry clutches

On the 2023 Panigale V4 R, equipped with the Desmosedici Stradale R engine, Ducati reported gains of up to 3.5 hp, with gains reaching up to 4.5 hp near the engine limiter.

Advanced Additive Technology

The specialized formula incorporates two key additive technologies:

• Friction Modifier: Creates an ultra-thin protective film over internal engine surfaces, reducing the effects of surface imperfections and minimizing friction.
• Viscosity Modifier: A specialized racing-developed polymer that helps reduce viscosity during high sliding speeds, lowering friction while maintaining protection under demanding lubrication conditions.

The formulation was developed and tested at Shell's research and development facilities before being validated through Ducati Corse's experience in world-championship racing.

Designed for Ducati V4 Dry-Clutch Engines

Ducati Corse Performance Oil powered by Shell Advance is specifically designed for Desmosedici Stradale engines equipped with dry clutches and can be used from the first oil change.

The friction-reducing formulation is intended specifically for engines with dry clutches, making it a specialized lubricant for high-performance Ducati applications.

Track-Focused Maintenance

Designed for closed-course and specialized track use, Ducati Corse Performance Oil requires more frequent oil changes than standard street-use lubricants:

• Oil change interval: Every 1,000 km / 620 miles
• Maximum time interval: 12 months
• Application: Ducati high-performance V4 engines equipped with dry clutches

Ducati Corse Performance Oil powered by Shell Advance brings race-developed lubrication technology to Ducati V4 motorcycles, providing enthusiasts with a specialized oil formulated to reduce friction and maximize engine performance on the track.
