Manufacturer's description

Shell Rimula R4 NG Plus oil is specially formulated to provide hard working protection under the full range of pressures & temperatures in natural gas engines. Suitable for mobile vehicles operating with 100% LNG/CNG fuel, approved for use in Cummins LNG/CNG engines.

Applications

  • Mobile LNG / CNG fuelled heavy duty vehiclesFor buses and trucks fitted with engines designed to run on 100% LNG / CNG.
  • Diesel and gasoline enginesSuitable for use in heavy duty diesel and gasoline engines requiring API CK-4/SN performances.

Performance & benefits

  • Advanced piston and engine cleanlinessOptimized balance of detergent and dispersancy provides good piston and engine cleanliness ensuring long and efficient engine operation.
  • Ignition system protectionOptimized formulation containing additives to control deposit formation in the combustion chamber to help prolong the life of valves and spark plugs.
  • Emissions system compatibilityThe low ash formulation helps protect the exhaust catalysts and particulate filters found on the latest low emission vehicles.
  • Suitable for Natural gas, Diesel and Gasoline enginesCustomer with mixed fleets can benefit from a one oil solution, thus minimizing maintenance complexity.
