Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic oil for heavy duty diesel engines. Shell Rimula R6 ME E4 oil delivers comprehensive protection and improved fuel economy without compromising durability, reduces maintenance costs and offers extended oil drain intervals, coupled with protection against ash, piston deposits and engine deposits.

Applications

• On-highway heavy duty applicationsIntended for a wide range of trucking and transport applications in vehicles using low-emission engines. Not recommended for Caterpillar engines.
• Use in emission-controlled enginesShell Rimula R6 ME E4 oil meets the requirements of most European manufacturers for Euro 2, 3 and some Euro 4 applications. For increased performance and the protection of the latest emission-controlled engines, particularly those fitted with a diesel particulate filter (DPF), we recommend the use of our products designed for low-emission engines, Shell Rimula R6 LM/LME.

Performance & benefits

• Fuel economyThrough the use of Shell's most advanced technology, Shell Rimula R6 ME E4 oil offers an enhanced fuel economy capability* that can reduce fuel costs without compromising engine protection or durability. *e.g. compared with higher-viscosity oils
• Reduced maintenance costsShell Rimula R6 ME E4 oil meets the requirements of engine manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF and others, allowing operators to optimise maintenance planning and maximise equipment availability.
• Low wear – extended engine lifeMeets the anti-wear protection requirements of most European engines, extending engine life.
• Low-temperature protectionShell Rimula R6 ME E4 oil allows faster starting at low temperatures than conventional 15W-40 or even 10W-40 oils. This means less wear on batteries and the engine starter, as well as less engine wear when operating in a cold climate.
