The Shell Rimula Range

Rimula Ultra is recognised by truck manufacturers as a long-life engine oil that offers premium engine protection, even at long drain intervals. Its unique chemistry has become the standard for heavy duty diesel engine oil.

The oil's long life enables operational efficiencies and lower maintenance costs. Extensive field and laboratory tests have demonstrated how Rimula Ultra provides state-of-the-art protection for your engine. 

Performance features:

.Delivers superior piston cleanliness over extended oil drain intervals, guaranteeing optimum engine efficiency and emissions performance

.Gives superb soot control in the latest Euro III low emission engines

.Dramatically reduces sludge and other deposits

.Allows faster pumping of oil to the bearings and camshaft for greater protection when starting your engine. Some engineers estimate that 80 percent of all engine wear occurs on start-up

.Has a synthetic formulation making it easier to start your engine even in extreme cold resulting in reduced wear when cranking and increased battery life.

Our biggest selling oil to commercial goods and passenger transport operators in Europe, Rimula Super can help you to reduce costs by balancing extended service intervals with more flexible maintenance schedules.

Rimula Super also provides an improved critical safety margin for high severity operations that ensures you stay on the road.

Used world-wide by operators who need an oil that provides outstanding protection and performance in severe conditions, Rimula Super is the preferred choice in long distance haulage and in the harsh stop-start of city and inter-city bus operations.

Rimula Super meets the latest engine oil tests including the MACK T-10 trial with EGR, one of the toughest tests of ring and liner wear ever developed. It provides robust protection with variable sulphur-level fuels and is suitable for all types of heavy duty diesel engines - meeting your toughest requirements, both on and off road.

Global leadership

Rimula Super exceeds the latest specification from Europe (ACEA E-5), Japan (DH-1) and the USA (CH-4) and the new "Global DHD-1" performance defined by the world's leading engine makers.

Rimula Super 15W-40

Premium protection, heavy duty diesel engine oil, for low emission, high performance engines.

Rimula X has built its reputation as a rugged, hardworking performance oil on the basis of millions of kilometres of experience in protecting heavy duty engines.

Exclusively developed by Shell scientists, Rimula X uses a unique combination of booster additives to ensure enhanced protection and longer life. Its calcium-based detergents optimise diesel performance.

Reduced wear

Rimula X keeps you on the road for longer with excellent protection against wear, even with aged and sooty oil. Extensive tests demonstrate that using Rimula X can reduce engine wear by 60-70% in Cummins engines, reduce ring wear by 50% in Mack engines and provide superior protection against wear in Mercedes engines.

Better lubrication and less sludging

Rimula X offers excellent lubrication whatever the climate, providing extra safety margins at low temperatures. The new formulation resists breakdown by heat. Our new additive chemistry ensures ideal lubrication throughout the drain, minimising sludging and controlling the higher soot levels characteristic of modern, low emission engines.

Versatility

The versatility of Rimula X has made it one of the world's leading oils for trucks, buses and tractors. Recognised and approved by a wide range of OEMs, it is suitable for both light/medium duty applications and heavy duty construction engines.

Suitable for use in American and European normally aspirated, lightly turbo charged, heavy duty engines where short to normal oil drain intervals are maintained, Rimula D Multigrade meets the performance requirements of turbo charged engines and exceeds the CF-4 performance.

Cost effective

With its new additive and formulation technology, Rimula D multigrade brings truck companies and operators the cost-control benefits and performance of a quality multi-grade oil at a cost effective price.

Rimula D15W-40

A robust, hardworking diesel engine oil for less severe operating conditions. Suitable for a wide range of turbo and non turbo engines.

Rimula D Monograde

Rimula D Monograde is suitable for a wide range of less-demanding engine service, including use in most non-turbocharged engines and in stationary applications such as pumps or small generator sets with intermittent operation.

This oil provides the basic level of industry standard protection (API CF) required by older and less sophisticated engine designs. For more modern or turbocharged engines in heavy duty applications we recommend use of multigrade oils such as Rimula D Extra or Rimula X for improved reliability and efficiency.

Assured QualityLike all other oils manufactured by Shell, Rimula D monograde complies to both Shell's internal quality standards and the independently assessed and accredited ISO 9002 international quality standard.

Cost Competitive

For engines with high oil consumption or for intermittent use, Rimula D monograde offers the cost competitive solution for engine lubrication.
