Manufacturer's description
Multifunctional lubricant for low-speed marine diesel engines. Shell Melina S is a high-performance low-speed diesel engine lubricant based on a blend of highly refined, high-viscosity oils and a balanced selection of additives. It is designed to deliver the highest levels of protection in low-speed marine diesel engines, but being multifunctional it can be used in a range of marine equipment and rationalises the number of lubricant grades carried on board. Melina S is NOT recommended for crosshead piston engines; the appropriate oils should be used
Applications
- For low-speed diesel engines, engine blocks and piston cooling systems
- Turbochargers, lubricated azimuth drives, stern tubes and deck equipment
- All auxiliary equipment requiring an SAE 30 oilSpecifications, approvals and recommendations. For a list of equipment approvals and recommendations, please consult your local Shell Technical Helpdesk.
