Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Oil intended for high-capacity diesel engines. It provides protection against wear and deposit formation and resists thickening by heat.

Applications

• Heavy duty trucks and on-highway applicationsWith a broad portfolio of OEM approvals, Shell Rimula R3 Turbo oils are suitable for most on-highway heavy duty truck applications.
• Construction and miningShell Rimula R3 Turbo is recommended for most engines found in construction and mining equipment, such as Caterpillar, Cummins, Detroit Diesel (four-stroke), MTU and Komatsu.
• Agricultural equipmentShell Rimula R3 Turbo is ideal for the stop-start operation found in agricultural applications and protects against bearing wear and deposit formation even under severe conditions. Shell Rimula R3 Turbo is suitable for use with biodiesel at the oil drain intervals recommended by the OEM. For severe operation or applications in modern low-emission engines, we recommend Shell Rimula R4 or Rimula R5 multigrade oils. Specifications, approvals and recommendations

Performance & benefits

• OEM acceptance: approved for use across a wide range of engines and applications from leading original equipment manufacturers (OEMs).
• Engine cleanliness: high thermal stability and oxidation resistance provide high standards of piston cleanliness; engine cleanliness is enhanced through the use of dispersants that control residue and deposits in other parts of the engine.
• Minimal engine wear: the combination of anti-wear additives and good engine cleanliness helps control wear, gives the engine long life, maintains its efficiency and power, and reduces maintenance costs.
