Shell Rimula ENERGISED PROTECTION
ABOUT ENERGISED PROTECTION
PROTECTIVE POWER
You need to know your oil will protect your engine under all conditions. No matter how hot, cold, steep, dusty, muddy or extended your operations, you demand protection.
Shell Rimula R6 LM uses a three-fold approach to delivering protection:
The Energised Protection of Shell Rimula heavy duty diesel engine oils provides protection in three critical areas: 1. Acid control — protects against corrosion from acids formed as fuel burns. 2. Deposit control — keeps engine clean for optimum performance and long life. 3. Wear control — keeps moving metal engine surfaces apart for long engine life. Shell Rimula R6 LM provides an innovative technology solution to meet the technical and operational needs of diesel and CNG powered heavy duty truck and bus fleet operators. Providing versatile protection Shell Rimula R6 LM can help contribute to efficient transport operation through: Low Emissions: Catalyst and particulate filter compatible to help maintain performance and life of the vehicle emission system. Maintenance Saving: Long drain capability and versatility to help manage maintenance and inventory costs and reduce waste oil.
■■
Synthetic technology base oils for increased additive activation.
■■
Unique additive technology.
■■
Exclusive anti-wear booster.
Working together these deliver outstanding performance and long drain capability without compromising durability. The low-SAPS formulation also protects exhaust catalysts and helps control deposit formation in CNG powered engines making this an ideal choice for operators of mixed fuel, low emissions trucks and buses.
YOUR PROTECTION – OUR EXPERIENCE Shell technologists have developed a novel anti-wear booster that provides extra protection in highly stressed areas. In laboratory simulations, this system can help reduce wear by up to 50%. Hot spots form when lubrication breaks down. A novel anti-wear booster enhances the protective power of the oil.
Shell Rimula R6 LM has special molecules that resist compression to keep moving parts separated, reducing wear.

Our field trials have confirmed that, compared to conventional high ash – long drain oils (typically meeting ACEA E4/MB 228.5), Shell Rimula R6 LM can slow the rate of DPF blockage, meaning lower back pressure (see below) which in turn means less DPF maintenance and/or less impact on fuel economy.

Exceeding the requirements for limiting of sulphur and phosphorous content for Mercedes-Benz, MAN and other OEMs, Shell Rimula R6 LM has been tested and proven to protect.

Protecting the performance of your exhaust emissions control systems is not only important to ensure your vehicles comply with legislative requirements, but also to ensure efficient operations. For instance, blocked diesel particulate filters (DPF) can actually increase fuel consumption. Shell Rimula R6 LM is formulated with reduced levels of ash and sulphur to help maintain the efficiency of the latest and future vehicle technologies.
MAINTENANCE SAVINGS Shell Rimula R6 LM can help control maintenance costs through Longer Oil Drains – Less time in the workshop. Increased Engine Durability – Less unplanned maintenance. Simplified Engine Oil Inventory – One oil for virtually all brands of engine, diesel and CNG. The excellent performance of Shell Rimula R6 LM in the critical piston deposit tests used by engine makers such as Mercedes-Benz and MAN has allowed approval against these and other extended drain specifications (see below).

RIMULA R6 LM
SHELL RIMULA R6 LM – APPLICATION GUIDE Shell Rimula R6 LM engine oils are suitable for use in many on-highway heavy duty applications. Meeting the requirements of many US, European and Japanese engine makers, they are particularly suited for a wide range of trucking and public transportation applications in modern low-emission vehicles, in particular fleets with mixed brands of engines and ages of vehicles. Shell Rimula R6 LM is also approved for use in heavy duty CNG powered engines from Mercedes-Benz, MAN and Volvo making it particularly suitable for use in public transportation fleets with mixed diesel and gas powered vehicles. Shell Rimula R6 LM exceeds the performance requirements of industry specifications such as API CI-4, ACEA E6 and E7 and is particularly recommended for vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPFs).
