Complete documentation

Manufacturer's description

Advanced Performance Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil. Shell Rimula R5 LE oils feature "Low-SAPS" additive technology while delivering energy savings. Protective power is enhanced through the use of advanced base oils to deliver fuel economy performance with no compromise in durability. The SAE 10W-40 grade has a kinematic viscosity of 102 mm²/s at 40 °C and 14.8 mm²/s at 100 °C, a viscosity index of 152 and a pour point of -42 °C. Its data sheet lists IVECO 18-1804 (Class TLS CK4 and E9) and CNH MAT 3521 ("meets specification"), and it is suitable for use with biodiesel at the engine maker's recommended oil drain intervals.
