Typical characteristics

Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic diesel engine oil with low HTHSV. Shell Rimula R7 AX oil features "Low-SAPS", high-performance, efficient additive technology designed to deliver enhanced fuel economy and lower emissions. Protection is improved with synthetic technology that significantly reduces engine friction and delivers extended maintenance intervals. Suitable for the latest engine technologies.

Applications

• For heavy duty on-highway applicationsParticularly suitable for the latest Euro 6 engine technologies, such as MB trucks and buses with OM 470, 471, 473, 934, 936 and 936h engines, which require an FA-4 quality diesel oil. These products are not backward compatible, so they cannot be used in older engines. Specifications, approvals and recommendations

Performance & benefits

• Fuel economy: through reduced High Temperature High Shear viscosity (low HTHS), offers enhanced fuel-economy capability* that can save money on fuel consumption without compromising engine protection or durability; the product meets the latest Daimler DTFR 15C130 specification for enhanced fuel economy (*e.g. compared with higher-viscosity oils such as SAE 15W-40, SAE 10W-40 or SAE 10W-30 and SAE 5W-30 high-HTHS grades).
• Emissions-system compatibility: the advanced low-ash formulation helps control the blocking or poisoning of exhaust after-treatment devices, helping maintain vehicle emissions compliance and engine fuel efficiency.
• Maintenance saving: meets the longer oil-drain requirements of the latest Euro 6 engines, allowing operators to optimise maintenance schedules and control costs.
• Low wear, low deposits: the additive technology delivers high levels of piston cleanliness, essential for long engine life.
