PROTECTIVE POWER
EXTRA LIFE
Shell Rimula R4 L provides operators with one of the highest levels of protection achievable in a conventional viscosity grade engine oil. In addition, the low sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur (SAPS) formulation helps to protect the catalysts and diesel particulate filters (DPF).
Shell 1.5 Rimula R4 L is formulated to give exceptional resistance to -20% breakdown by heat and mechanical stress to ensure continuous 1 protection, even under the most severe -50% conditions.
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 DPFs can actually increase fuel consumption. Shell Rimula R4 L is formulated with reduced levels of ash and sulphur to help maintain the efficiency of the latest and future vehicle technologies. ACEA E7 limit

Cummins ISM injector screw: visibly less wear
Shell Rimula R4 L provides significantly higher levels of wear protection than previous-generation oils, exceeding the critical wear requirements in many areas, such as in the Cummins ISM test2 with visibly less wear than passing oils. Virtually sludge free: Shell Rimula R4 L and its highly active ashless dispersants deliver exceptional cleanliness and deposit control and is proven in on-highway tests in over 25 million km. For example, Mercedes-Benz engines show virtually no sludge in rocker covers or oil sumps, allowing for more efficient engine operation and lower maintenance costs.
