Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Shell Rimula R3 adapts to drivers' needs to provide additional protection. It features an active detergent system designed to keep pistons and other engine parts clean, provides protection against wear and thereby extends engine life, and also protects against deposits to maintain engine efficiency.

Applications

• Proven diesel engine performanceShell Rimula R3 monograde oils have been designed to maximise engine performance across a wide range of applications, in stationary vehicles or in older on-highway diesel engines.
• Construction industry applicationsEngine oil technology is sometimes recommended for hydraulic and transmission applications. Shell Rimula R3 monograde oils deliver superior performance and ensure the reliability of these applications.
• The use of Shell Rimula R3 monograde oils is appropriate for stationary equipment, such as pumps in continuous operation in a stable environment. Shell Rimula R3+ 30 is suitable for use with biodiesel at the oil drain intervals recommended by the OEM
• Stationary equipment: The use of Shell Rimula R3 monograde oils is appropriate for stationary equipment, such as pumps in continuous operation in a stable environment
• Shell Rimula R3+ 30 is suitable for use with biodiesel at the oil drain intervals recommended by the OEM

Standards & approvals

• MAN 270

  MAN 270 — monograde engine oil (obsolete)

  MAN's old specification for monograde truck engine oils. Withdrawn, but still quoted on datasheets for older fleets.

• MTU Oil Category 1

  MTU's first oil quality category: standard-quality monograde and multigrade oils for older MTU engines.

• API CF

  Diesel engine oil, API CF performance level

  API's service category for indirect-injection diesel engines, tolerant of higher-sulphur fuel. An earlier category in the API service classification, written for the engines of its era; it still appears on datasheets alongside the current categories.Source

• MB-Approval 228.0

  Mercedes-Benz truck diesel engine oil, earliest level

  The earliest Mercedes-Benz truck diesel engine oil level, predecessor to 228.1 and 228.3, for older engines without exhaust aftertreatment.Source
