Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Heavy duty diesel engine oil with "Low-SAPS" additive technology to deliver protective power and save on maintenance. Protective power is enhanced with synthetic base oil technology, resulting in long engine life and long oil life.

Applications

• On-highway heavy duty applicationsIntended for a wide range of trucking and transport applications, in vehicles using low-emission engines from Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF, Volvo and others. Particularly suitable for mixed fleets running Euro 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 engines.
• Use in emission-controlled enginesShell Rimula R6 LM meets the latest original equipment manufacturer (OEM) requirements for Euro 4, 5 and 6 engines and exceeds the performance requirements set out in industry specifications such as ACEA E6 and API CK-4.
• Shell Rimula R6 LM is approved for use in buses and trucks fitted with 100% CNG (compressed natural gas) engines, such as those produced by Mercedes-Benz and MAN. Shell Rimula R6 LM is suitable for use with biodiesel at the oil drain intervals recommended by the OEM
• Volvo VDS-4.5meets the performance level for diesel engines only. For the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell Technical Helpdesk.
• Volvo VDS-4.5

Performance & benefits

• Maintenance saving: meets the extended oil-drain-interval requirements of Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF and others, from the latest Euro 6 to older-generation engines, allowing operators to optimise maintenance planning and control maintenance costs.
• Emissions-system compatibility: the advanced low-ash formulation helps prevent blockage or contamination of exhaust after-treatment devices, helping maintain vehicle emissions compliance and fuel efficiency.
• Low wear, low deposits: unique additive technology delivers high standards of piston cleanliness, essential for extending engine life and protecting against wear.
• Fuel economy: can reduce fuel consumption compared with high-viscosity-grade oils.
