ACTIVE technology
bp Ultimate Unleaded with ACTIVE technology contains millions of dirt-busting molecules, specially designed to clean your petrol engine and protect it from harmful dirt. 
 

bp’s innovative formulation fights dirt in two clever ways:


1. ACTIVE molecules attach to existing dirt and pull it away from critical engine parts. The dirt mixes with the fuel and is then safely burnt in the engine.
2. ACTIVE molecules also attach to clean engine surfaces, forming a protective barrier which helps stop dirt adhering to the metal.

 bp Ultimate Unleaded with ACTIVE technology removes existing dirt and forms a barrier against dirt build-up on critical engine parts which, with ongoing use, helps keep your engine performing as the manufacturer intended.*
