Manufacturer's description

Shell Alexia 25 is a cylinder lubricant designed for use in two-stroke low speed diesel engines. Shell Alexia 25 is suitable for use in engines when operating on low sulphur or distillate fuels of up to 0.1% sulphur. These fuels are expected to be used primarily in Emission Control Areas (ECAs) after the fuel Sulphur limit drops to 0.1% on 1st January 2015.

Applications

  • Two-stroke low speed diesel engines Cylinder lubrication of two-stroke low speed diesel engines when operating on low sulphur or distillate fuel of up to 0.1% sulphur

Performance & benefits

  • Engine protection & cleanlinessShell Alexia 25 has been optimised to offer excellent cleanliness and protection for all types of engines.
  • Shell Alexia 25 is validated for use by major manufacturers of low speed crosshead diesel engines including
  • Changeover guidelines OEM advice should be followed in determining when an engine should switch to Shell Alexia 25. As general guidance the oil should be used at any time when distillate fuel or other fuels with a Sulphur content of <0.1% are being utilised - in the case that the engine switches during a voyage (for instance as it enters an ECA zone) the lubricant should be changed at the same time as the fuel, in accordance with OEM advice
