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
