Shell Rimula X Multigrade (CH-4) Extra High Performance Diesel Engine Oil  

Rimula X Oils are high performance; dedicated heavy-duty engine lubricants designed for usein modern high-speed turbocharged diesel engines. They use exclusive additive formulationsin conjunction with highly refined base oils to deliver longer life and enhanced protectionrelative to their predecessors.

Rimula X Oils have been reformulated for severe duty service in engines specifically designedto meet Euro 3 on-highway exhaust emission standards as well as being suitable for a widerange of heavy-duty off-highway applications.

 Applications

• On-Highway Heavy Duty Trucks As an integral part of the development of Rimula X,extensive testing of the product has been carried outin road haulage operations around the worldconfirming the performance of Rimula X inEuropean, American and Japanese equipment undera wide range of haulage conditions.

• Construction and MiningRimula X is recommended for most engine typesfound in construction and mining equipment. It isparticularly suitable for Caterpillar, Cummins, DetroitDiesel (4-cycle) and Komatsu engines. It isformulated to provide continuous protection even where higher sulphur fuels are used.

•  Agricultural Equipment  

Rimula X is ideally suited for the stop-startservice found in agricultural operation and

protects against bearing wear and depositformation even under high load low speedconditions when other oils can fail.

Performance Features and Benefits

• Unique Formulation Shell technologists have developed exclusiveformulations for the generation of Rimula Xdesigned to deliver a step change in performancelevels to improve the efficiency and life of yourmachinery.

•Greater Protection and Higher Temperatures With increasing power, modern engines have to work harder for longer, resulting in increasedheat and stress on the engine oil. Rimula X hasbeen demonstrated to provide increasedresistance to thermal breakdown ensuringcontinued protection throughout the draininterval, even under the most severe conditions.

• Longer Oil Life With their exclusive additive formulations, RimulaX oils can fight the combined effects ofcombustion acids and increased heat for longerthan their predecessors. This performance reserveensures the oil continues to protect against wearand corrosion right up until the oil drain.

•  Approved by Leading Engine MakersRimula X engine oils now meets an even widerrange of engine maker requirements confirmingRimula X as an ideal choice for mixed fleet dieselengine applications.
