Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic oil for high-capacity diesel engines. Shell Rimula R6 LME offers exclusive "Low-SAPS" additive technology and a unique anti-wear system. Its protective power is further strengthened by the use of synthetic base oil technology, which delivers extended drain intervals and fuel economy. Particularly suitable for Euro 4, 5 and 6 vehicles.

Applications

• On-highway heavy duty applicationsParticularly suited to a wide range of heavy duty vehicles and transport applications, with modern low-emission engines from Mercedes-Benz, DAF and others. It is especially suitable for truck fleets running mixed Euro 2, 3, 4 and 5 engines.
• For low-emission enginesShell Rimula R6 LME meets the latest manufacturer standards, including Mercedes-Benz and others, for Euro 4, 5 and 6 engine types, and exceeds the performance requirements of industry specifications such as ACEA E6 and E7.

Performance & benefits

• Fuel economyThrough the use of Shell's most advanced technology, Shell Rimula R6 LME offers an enhanced fuel economy capability*, making it possible to save money on fuel consumption without compromising engine protection or durability. *e.g. compared with higher-viscosity oils
• Reduced maintenance costsShell Rimula R6 LME meets the extended oil drain interval standards of Mercedes-Benz, DAF and others, from the latest Euro 6 engines to older-generation engines, allowing operators to optimise maintenance schedules and control maintenance costs.
• Emissions system compatibilityThe advanced low-ash formulation helps prevent the blocking or poisoning of exhaust gas after-treatment systems, helping the vehicle maintain emissions compliance and fuel efficiency.
• Low wear, low depositsThe unique additive technology delivers high standards of piston cleanliness, essential for extending engine life. The unique anti-wear additive helps meet the protection standards of many engine types.
