Performance, Features & Benefits of Shell Sirius X 40

+ Outstanding piston cleanliness

Free-running piston rings, even under difficult operational conditions, ensuring maximum reliability.

+ Exceptional protection against bore polishing

Control of blow-by and oil consumption, preserving engine efficiency. SHPDO type oils are preferred by many engine manufacturers to guard against bore polishing.

+ Exceptional engine cleanliness

Ability to retain high levels of soot safely in suspension, even with extended drain intervals.

+ Oxidation resistance twice that of conventional oils

Ability to withstand high temperatures for longer, in severe service or with extended drain intervals.

+ High reserve alkalinity

A TBN-E (total base number) of 17 to neutralise acids and provide corrosion protection until the next drain interval, even with the higher sulphur levels sometimes found in marine distillate fuels.
