Lubrication Ducati Desmosedici

Shell Advance and Ducati
Shell Advance Ultra 4’s tailored blend of lubricant plays a key role for Ducati in lubricating the engine’s rotating and oscillating parts and the constantly moving components of the gearbox.
Shell says that the oil has been optimized to deliver maximum performance and liberate new power, while maintaining its protection properties throughout each session on the track.
Of course, engine reliability is a key marker in the success of Ducati Corse.
The Shell technical partnership with Ducati began in 1999 and the pairing achieved immediate success and fame that same year when Ducati won the World Superbike Championship.
In 2003, the technical partnership was renewed and expanded to include MotoGP.  Just four years later, Ducati took the triple MotoGP World titles (riders’, manufacturers’ and team) and in January 2008, Shell and Ducati signed a new agreement through until the end of 2011.
