Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

High-performance oil for heavy duty diesel engines. Shell Rimula R6 MS advanced performance oil delivers highly responsive protection, maintenance savings and performance over long drain intervals, protection against soot, wear and deposits, and fuel economy. Suitable for most Euro 4 and 5 engines and Scania Euro 6 engines.

Applications

• Intended for a wide range of trucking and transport applications in vehicles using emission-controlled engines from Mercedes-Benz and MAN. It also meets or exceeds the performance requirements of other European manufacturers, such as Volvo, Renault, DAF, Scania, Deutz and Iveco, as well as Cummins, Mack and numerous Japanese engine types. Not recommended for Caterpillar engines.
• Shell Rimula R6 MS meets the requirements of most European manufacturers for Euro 2 and 3 engines and most Euro IV and Euro V engines without particulate filters, as well as Euro VI engines from Scania. For increased performance and the protection of the latest emission-controlled engines, we recommend the use of our products designed for low-emission engines, Shell Rimula R6 LM/LME.
