When it comes to the first filling of Ducati engines, the Italian manufacturer will continue to rely on Shell.
The corresponding contract for the use of Shell motor oil for the first filling was extended by another three years and applies to all motorcycles that are manufactured in the plants in Bologna (Italy) and Rayong (Thailand).
In addition, the joint Shell Advance Ducati motor oil will also be sold in Germany, France and Great Britain in the future. It is already on sale in the Italian and North American markets.
The oil has been tested and developed over the past 21 years in the most demanding and competitive environments, such as MotoGP or WSBK.
Claudio Domenicali, Ducati Motor Holding CEO: “The transfer of knowledge from racing to product is a natural process for Ducati. We have also adopted this approach in the development of our partnership with Shell, which has been successfully working alongside us at every circuit for over 20 years. Shell Advance Ducati 15W-50 has been created for this, with the aim of providing our passionate Ducatisti with a product as high-performance and effective as the engine oil used by our teams on the track.”
Steve Reindl, Shell Vice President, Global Key Accounts and New Business Development and Strategic Partnerships: “We are pleased that our close working relationship with Ducati on the track continues to grow every year to bring the performance benefits of our Shell Advance motorbike oils to more Ducati owners around the world. Just as we have committed to helping Ducati achieve success in the MotoGP and World Superbike, we are committed to offering Ducati enthusiasts on the road the best oil technologies.”
