Product information: Heavy-duty diesel engine oils

THE ENGINE OIL THAT WORKS AS HARD AS YOU.

WHY SHELL RIMULA R4?

Shell Rimula R4 with CI4 Plus technology, is ideal for modern engines. It uses exclusive combinations of the latest high performance additives to ensure protection under the full range of pressures and temperatures. The external condition may vary from high to low temperature, dusty to muddy environment, steep climbs to sudden falls, but Shell Rimula R4 always adapts. With a wide array of engine manufacturers’ approvals, it is a versatile one-oil solution for a fleet with multiple engine makes. It helps you minimise maintenance and operating costs and keeps your business healthy.

More recently, BS IV vehicles with Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) systems further increase the amount of soot mixing with engine oil. All this puts higher demands on the Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil.

Shell Rimula R4, with an exceptional additive system, delivers excellent soot and viscosity control especially in these modern engines. It also provides outstanding protection against wear and improved cleanliness exceeding demanding requirements of a wide range of OEMs.

Power output is increasing

Oil drain interval is higher

Soot loading is increasing

Engine temperature is increasing

Engine size is reducing

Sump size is lower

Lesser topup is needed

INCREASED OIL STRESS

OVER THE YEARS, ENGINES HAVE BEEN IMPROVING TO MEET EMISSION NORMS AND INCREASING CUSTOMER EXPECTATIONS, WHICH LEADS TO INCREASED STRESS ON THE OIL.

ENGINE ISSUES AND THEIR CAUSES WHICH AFFECT PERFORMANCE

ENGINE ISSUES AND THEIR CAUSES THE SOLUTION

Nitrogen and oxygen in air, and sulfur in diesel enter the cylinder

Turbocharged engines run hotter and cause piston deposits that cause cylinder liner wear

Metal-to-metal contact can occur in high-pressure, low-oil-flow areas like cam shaft and followers

Fuel combustion releases carbon particles (soot) into the oil

During combustion process sulfuric and nitric acids are formed

Worn cylinder liner cannot hold oil film

These particles can stick together to form large spongy particles

These spongy particles settle on engine surfaces as a thick sludge

Up to 3 kg soot is generated in a BS III engine

Acids attack soft metal components like bearings leading to their failure

This further leads to ring sticking, rapid wear and blow-by

This causes rapid wear of cam lobes and followers

SHELL RIMULA’S DETERGENT MOLECULES NEUTRALISE ACIDS AND PREVENT PREMATURE BEARING FAILURE

SHELL RIMULA’S DETERGENT MOLECULES PROTECT PISTON SURFACES BY CONTINUOUSLY BLOCKING AWAY CARBON AND REMOVING DEPOSITS

MOLECULES IN SHELL RIMULA OIL FORM AN ANTI-WEAR FILM THAT PREVENTS CRITICAL CAMSHAFT WEAR

SHELL RIMULA’S DISPERSANT MOLECULES WRAP UP CARBON PARTICLES BEFORE SLUDGE CAN FORM AND REDUCE OIL THICKENING AND ENGINE WEAR

MAIN APPLICATIONS

■■ Suitable for engines designed to meet Euro II/III/IV and Bharat Stage II/III/IV norms

■■ Recommended for use in heavy and light duty diesel engines with or without turbochargers. Specially recommended for modern engines with EGRs to handle excess soot and viscosity increase

■■ On-highway applications operating in high speed and load, long-haul, short-haul and within city pick-up & delivery services

■■ Off-highway, construction, mining and quarrying and modern tractor applications where severe conditions of low speed and heavy load exist

■■ Recommended for use in Cummins, Caterpillar, MAN, Komatsu, Volvo, Hino, Deutz, Tata Motors, Toyota, Ashok Leyland, Mahindra, Force Motors, Eicher Motors and other turbocharged high performance diesel engines

■■ Not recommended for very old engines with high oil consumption issues and engines using high viscosity oils like 20W-40 and 20W-50
