Shell Rimula R4

Four ways to benefit – today from Shell Rimula RT4

The introduction of Shell Rimula RT4 gives transport operators the chance to gain immediate benefits for their vehicles and business, whilst at the same time being ready for tomorrow. Based on high performance Group II base oils, it is one of the most advanced 15W-40 oil technologies available – and suitable for virtually all vehicles. Operators can benefit from:

• Better performance by improved wear and deposit control
• Better oil life by improved oxidation resistance 
• OEM's know why therfore Shell Rimula R4 has a wide range of approvals
• Rimula RT4 meets next generation specifications

Shell Rimula RT4 L is suitable for virtually all on-highway truck, bus and coach applications

including Euro 2,3,4 and 5 applications (Shell Rimula R4 L). The exceptionally wide range of vehicle maker approvals allow Rimula R4 to provide a single-oil lubrication solution for fleets with mixed vehicle makes, providing logistical and inventory benefits.

Shell Rimula R4 provides and excellent solution for the lubrication of medium and light diesel powered commercial vehicles, especially those fitted with diesel particulate filters (Rimula RT4 L).

Shell Rimula RT4 meets the requirements of leading agricultural and construction equipment / engine makers such as Caterpillar, Cummins, Deutz and MTU.

Extra life

Shell Rimula R4 L is formulated to give exceptional resistance to breakdown by heat and mechanical stress to ensure continuous protection even under the most severe conditions.

Extra Heat Resistance: The action powerful anti-oxidants included in Shell Rimula R4 L are further enhanced through the use of high quality Group II base oils to provide increased resistance to breakdown by heat compared to previous generation oils (eg API CI-4/ACEA E7).

Extra Stress Resistance: In common with other Shell top-tier heavy duty engine oils, Shell Rimula R4 L uses highly stable viscosity modifiers. These specially designed molecules resist being torn apart in the high stress areas of the engine such as valve and gear trains. Meaning that the oil retains its viscosity better than many other oils on the market for more consistent and reliable lubrication and protection.

Improved Protection

Shell Rimula R4 provides considerably higher levels of wear and deposit control than previous generation oils.

Extra Wear Protection: In the Cummins ISM engine test* Shell Rimula R4 L not only passes the requirements but shows visibly less wear than other oils that also meet the requirements of the test. Shell Rimula R4 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 test* with visibly less wear than passing oils.

Virtually Sludge Free: Shell Rimula R4 and its highly active ashless dispersants deliver exceptional cleanliness and deposit control and is proven in on-highway tests in over 25 million kilometers. For example, in Mercedes-Benz engines showing virtually no sludge in rocker covers or oil sumps allowing for more efficient engine operation and lower maintenance costs.
