Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic oil for high-capacity diesel engines. A fully synthetic oil with "Low-SAPS" additive technology, delivering protective power and fuel economy.

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, MAN, DAF and others. It is especially suitable for truck fleets running mixed Euro 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 engines.
  • For low-emission enginesShell Rimula R6 LME Plus meets the latest manufacturer standards, including Mercedes-Benz, MAN and others, for Euro 4, 5 and 6 engine types, and exceeds the performance requirements of industry specifications such as ACEA E6, E9 and E7. Specifications, approvals and recommendations
  • Volvo VDS 4.5Meets the requirements for diesel engines only. For the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell Technical Helpdesk.

Performance & benefits

  • Fuel economy: through use of Shell's most advanced technology, offers enhanced fuel-economy capability* without compromising engine protection or durability (*e.g. compared with high-viscosity oils).
  • Maintenance saving: meets Mercedes-Benz and MAN's extended oil-drain-interval standards, 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 systems, 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 helps meet the protection standards of many engine types.
