Manufacturer's description

Fully synthetic oil for high-capacity diesel engines. A fully synthetic oil with "Low-SAPS" additive technology, delivering protective power and fuel economy.

Applications

• On-highway heavy duty applicationsParticularly suited to a wide range of heavy duty vehicles and transport applications, with modern low-emission engines from Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF and others. It is especially suitable for truck fleets running mixed Euro 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 engines.
• For low-emission enginesShell Rimula R6 LME Plus meets the latest manufacturer standards, including Mercedes-Benz, MAN and others, for Euro 4, 5 and 6 engine types, and exceeds the performance requirements of industry specifications such as ACEA E6, E9 and E7. Specifications, approvals and recommendations
• Volvo VDS 4.5Meets the requirements for diesel engines only. For the full list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell Technical Helpdesk.

Standards & approvals

• ACEA E6

  ACEA E6 oil sequence

  ACEA's sequence for heavy-duty diesel engines with full exhaust aftertreatment. A low-SAPS level, ash capped to protect the particulate filter, at extended drain intervals. One of ACEA's current sequences.Source

• ACEA E8

  ACEA E8 oil sequence

  ACEA's sequence for heavy-duty diesel engines.Source

• ACEA E7

  ACEA E7 oil sequence

  ACEA's sequence for heavy-duty diesel engines.Source

• ACEA E9

  ACEA E9 oil sequence

  ACEA's sequence for heavy-duty diesel engines with a particulate filter. A capped sulphated-ash level, the counterpart of E7 for DPF-equipped engines. One of ACEA's current sequences.Source

• ACEA E11

  ACEA E11 — heavy-duty diesel, low SAPS, extended drain

  An ACEA sequence for Euro VI and later heavy-duty diesel engines fitted with DPF and SCR. It requires low-SAPS additive chemistry (reduced sulphur, ash and phosphorus) and the oxidation resistance needed for extended drain intervals.

  API's service category for spark-ignition engines. Current category.Source

• JASO DH-2

  JASO DH-2 — diesel engine oil

  The Japanese standard for heavy-duty diesel engine oils in DPF-equipped engines, with sulphated ash capped so the filter does not clog.

• Caterpillar ECF-3

  Caterpillar's current engine crankcase fluid category, with capped sulphated ash, for CAT engines fitted with a particulate filter.

• Caterpillar ECF-2

  Caterpillar's engine crankcase fluid category for CAT diesel engines with tighter deposit and wear control requirements than ECF-1a.

• Cummins CES 20086

  Cummins' specification for low-viscosity oils (API FA-4 level) that cut fuel consumption in the heavy-duty diesel engines designed for them.

• Cummins CES 20081

  The Cummins specification matching the API CK-4 level, for modern heavy-duty diesel engines with exhaust aftertreatment.

• Deutz DQC IV-18 LA

  Deutz DQC IV-18 LA (low ash)

  The 2018 issue of Deutz class IV with low ash — Deutz's top level for engines with full exhaust aftertreatment.

• DTFR 15C110

  Daimler Truck DTFR 15C110 (formerly MB 228.51) — low-SAPS engine oil, Euro VI

  A low-SAPS oil for high-performance diesel engines with aftertreatment, with severe piston cleanliness and wear protection requirements. The usual Euro VI level. Daimler Truck renumbered the MB-Approval sheets into the DTFR series; MB 228.51 and DTFR 15C110 are the same requirement.Source

• DTFR 15C120

  Daimler Truck DTFR 15C120 (formerly MB 228.52) — low-SAPS engine oil, extended drain

  A low-SAPS level above 228.51, with tighter oxidation requirements, for longer drain intervals. Daimler Truck renumbered the MB-Approval sheets into the DTFR series; MB 228.52 and DTFR 15C120 are the same requirement.Source

• Mack EOS-4.5

  Mack EOS-4.5 — heavy-duty diesel engine oil

  Mack's engine oil specification matching the API CK-4 level, for Mack and Volvo trucks with exhaust aftertreatment.

• EO-O Premium Plus

  Mack EO-O Premium Plus — heavy-duty diesel engine oil

  Mack's engine oil specification for trucks with a particulate filter, matching the API CJ-4 level. The predecessor of the EOS series.

• MAN M 3477

  MAN M 3477 — low-SAPS extended-drain oil

  MAN's specification for synthetic low-SAPS extended-drain oils in Euro IV–VI engines with a particulate filter.

• Scania LDF-4

  Scania's engine oil specification with tighter oxidation requirements than LDF-3, for still longer drain intervals.
