    Complete documentation

    Manufacturer's description

    Oils intended for high-capacity diesel engines. Shell Rimula R4 L oils use "Low-SAPS" additive technology to ensure protection under the toughest conditions. They deliver significant improvements in wear protection, deposit control and resistance to high-temperature breakdown compared with other previous-generation oils.

    Applications

    • Off-highway equipment applicationsSuitable for use in agricultural and construction applications, even where fuels with a higher sulphur content are used.
    • High-output heavy duty diesel enginesShell Rimula R4 L meets the requirements of the leading. Specifications, approvals and recommendations
    • Ford WSS-M2C171-F1For the full list of recommendations and approvals, please consult your local Shell technical representative. European and North American engine manufacturers.

    Performance & benefits

    • Portfolio optimisation: approved by the most important original equipment manufacturers, optimising the product portfolio for mixed fleets.
    • Emissions-system compatibility: the advanced low-ash formulation helps prevent blockage or contamination of exhaust after-treatment systems, helping maintain vehicle emissions compliance and fuel efficiency.
    • Lower operating costs: contains an improved acid-control system that helps commercial fleet operators achieve maximum drain-interval flexibility.
    • Remarkable anti-wear protection: confirmed by millions of kilometres in customer service, provides a level of wear protection visibly superior to oils from previous generations, extending engine life and efficiency.
