Manufacturer's description
Super High Performance Diesel Engine Oil. Shell Sirius X is a top quality lubricant, of the Super High Performance Diesel Engine Oil (SHPDO) class. It is designed for the highest output, high-speed diesel engines, burning distillate fuel and is formulated to give better engine protection and longer drain intervals than normal diesel engine oils. Shell Sirius X is especially suitable for the high power/weight units used in fast vessels and compact generator sets.
Applications
- N.B. Not suitable for N. American automotive type engines, for which API CF-4 type oils are required.
- High-speed diesel engines operating on distillate fuels
Performance & benefits
- Outstanding piston cleanlinessFree-running piston rings, even under difficult operational conditions, ensuring maximum reliability.
- Exceptional protection against bore polishingControl of blow-by and oil consumption, preserving engine efficiency. SHPDO type oils are preferred by many engine manufacturers to guard against bore polishing.
- Exceptional engine cleanlinessAbility to retain high levels of soot safely in suspension, even with extended drain intervals.
- Oxidation resistance twice that of conventional oilsAbility to withstand high temperatures for longer, in severe service or with extended drain intervals.
- High reserve alkalinityA TBN-E (total base number) of 17 to neutralise acids and provide corrosion protection until the next drain interval, even with the higher sulphur levels sometimes found in marine distillate fuels.
- MWM Deutz (high output, high speed, e.g. TBD 620)
Standards & approvals
MTU Oil Category 2
MTU oil quality category 2: higher-quality monograde and multigrade oils for MTU diesel engines, without an ash cap.
API CF
Diesel engine oil, API CF performance level
API's service category for indirect-injection diesel engines, tolerant of higher-sulphur fuel. An earlier category in the API service classification, written for the engines of its era; it still appears on datasheets alongside the current categories.Source
