Manufacturer's description

High-performance oil for heavy duty diesel engines. Shell Rimula R5 E oils provide protection across the full range of pressures and temperatures. Enhanced by the use of advanced base oils, they deliver energy savings, excellent soot and viscosity control, outstanding wear protection and exceptional versatility.

Applications

  • High-capacity diesel enginesShell Rimula R5 E oil provides guaranteed protection and performance for the latest high-performance, high-output diesel engines from Europe, the United States and Japan, in both on-highway and stationary applications. Shell Rimula R5 E is suitable for use with biodiesel, observing the oil drain intervals recommended by the original equipment manufacturer (OEM).
  • Shell Rimula R5 E oil is suitable for most modern low-emission engines that comply with the Euro 2, Euro 3 and US 2002 emissions requirements. For the latest low-emission engines, particularly those fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF), we recommend the use of our products designed for low-emission engines, Shell Rimula R6 LM/LME oils.
  • Superior low-emission engines: Shell Rimula R5 E oil is suitable for most modern low-emission engines that comply with the Euro 2, Euro 3 and US 2002 emissions requirements
  • For the latest low-emission engines, particularly those fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF), we recommend the use of our products designed for low-emission engines, Shell Rimula R6 LM/LME oils

Performance & benefits

  • Outstanding protectionFeaturing a unique additive system that delivers maximum efficiency in ash handling, Shell Rimula R5 E oil provides excellent anti-wear protection and an extended oil guarantee in Euro 3, US 2002 and other advanced engines.
  • Fuel economy capabilityThe use of advanced base oil components gives Shell Rimula R5 E the ability to improve cold starting, reduce fuel consumption and generate savings, without compromising engine protection or durability.
  • Improved engine cleanlinessThe unique additive system provides enhanced engine cleanliness and protection against piston deposits, allowing Shell Rimula R5 E oil to exceed the requirements of most equipment manufacturers.
