Animated low angle view, panning upwards, of a diesel truck approaching on a highway through a haze of swirling sand, against the background of a brown desert landscape.
The background turns grey as the same scene is depicted by night and in driving rain, which finally turns to snow, with the landscape covered in a blanket of white.
Zoom to a high angle view of the truck’s engine in situ.
[Narrator]
At Shell, we know just how tough the roads can be. Harsh weather and long driving hours can have an impact on your engine’s performance. Today’s heavy-duty diesel engines need exceptional engine oils to keep them running at maximum efficiency.

Specific products within the Shell Rimula Ultra, R6 and R5 range can deliver fuel economy benefits compared to industry standard 10W-40 or 15W-40. Benefits and/or savings may vary, depending on, for example, vehicle type, the application, the operating conditions, the current products being used, the condition of the equipment and the maintenance practices.

Zoom to close-up of the rocker arms action against the camshaft as the pistons pump below, zooming into a graphic showing a gold line running horizontally across the screen, separating the surface above from the surface below. The line is filled with a double layer of white molecules. Text displays top of frame-left.
A white line diagonally splits the screen, frame-left still containing the previously described image, while frame-right contains a similar image, but with a very thin, ragged line across the middle. Text displays top of frame-left and top of frame-right.

Wear control / No wear control
Valid for synthetic products of Rimula, for example Shell Rimula Ultra delivers up to 56% better engine wear protection compared with the new, more stringent MB 228.51 limit, as measured in the MB OM 646 LA engine test.

Zoom out to a slow motion view of the pumping pistons and the combustion process, acid depicted in white above the piston.
Zoom into the oil again, white molecules visible against the golden background. Small acid molecules descend into a large white molecule in the foreground and disappear as they are neutralised. Text displays at the top of frame-left.
Zoom out to the pumping pistons again, acid corrosion dissipating above the pistons.
Zoom to pumping motion of the connecting rods below. A white line diagonally splits the screen over the same image, with the part of the connecting rods to the left of the line appearing to be clean while the parts to the right appear corroded. Text displays top of frame-left and top of frame-right.
[Narrator]
During the combustion process, acids are produced which can end up in the engine oil. Performance additives neutralize these acids and prevent them from reaching vital engine parts. By preventing metal corrosion, unplanned downtime can be minimized.

Benefits
Increased fuel savings
Increased fuel savings
Low viscosity could help to improve fuel consumption and the overall maintenance costs to your business.3 Utilising low viscosity oils means reduced fuel consumption because it reduces the energy lost in day to day applications.
Better protection
Better protection against engine wear
Less engine wear and increased durability is vital to avoid any unplanned downtime so you can get the most out of your engine and extend its life span. The anti-wear booster developed by Shell scientists provides better protection against friction in highly stressed areas of the engine.2
Longer oil drain intervals
Longer oil drain intervals
The formulation for Shell Rimula R6 LME delivers outstanding durability for extended oil drain intervals.4 Longer oil drain intervals could mean less vehicle downtime for you, keeping you and your equipment on the road for longer.
Cleaner pistons
Cleaner pistons
Cleaner pistons12 mean a smoother, more efficient engine. Shell Rimula R6 LME include advanced additives which give protection against deposits for extended oil-drain intervals4 and potentially delivering maintenance savings for you.3
Equipment compatibility
Emissions equipment compatibility
Efficiently running your engine means effectively managing the wellbeing of your business. After treatment devices such as Diesel Particulate Filters trap potentially harmful soot and ash combustion by-products before they can be released to the environment. Blocked filters increase fuel consumption, so the low-ash additive system in is designed to actively reduce filter blocking.5
Which products have Dynamic Protection Plus Technology?
The Shell Rimula R5 and R6 range use Dynamic Protection Plus Technology1, which could provide real fuel savings3 that can help lower your operation cost and provide protections that can help to reduce maintenance costs.

Shell’s net carbon intensity
Also, in this content we may refer to Shell’s “net carbon intensity” (NCI), which includes Shell’s carbon emissions from the production of our energy products, our suppliers’ carbon emissions in supplying energy for that production and our customers’ carbon emissions associated with their use of the energy products we sell. Shell’s NCI also includes the emissions associated with the production and use of energy products produced by others which Shell purchases for resale. Shell only controls its own emissions. The use of the terms Shell’s “net carbon intensity” or NCI is for convenience only and not intended to suggest these emissions are those of Shell plc or its subsidiaries.
Shell’s net-zero emissions target
Shell’s operating plan and outlook are forecasted for a three-year period and ten-year period, respectively, and are updated every year. They reflect the current economic environment and what we can reasonably expect to see over the next three and ten years. Accordingly, the outlook reflects our Scope 1, Scope 2 and NCI targets over the next ten years. However, Shell’s operating plan and outlook cannot reflect our 2050 net-zero emissions target, as this target is outside our planning period. Such future operating plans and outlooks could include changes to our portfolio, efficiency improvements and the use of carbon capture and storage and carbon credits. In the future, as society moves towards net-zero emissions, we expect Shell’s operating plans and outlooks to reflect this movement. However, if society is not net zero in 2050, as of today, there would be significant risk that Shell may not meet this target.
Forward-Looking non-GAAP measures
This content may contain certain forward-looking non-GAAP measures such as adjusted earnings and divestments. We are unable to provide a reconciliation of these forward-looking non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures because certain information needed to reconcile those non-GAAP measures to the most comparable GAAP financial measures is dependent on future events some of which are outside the control of Shell, such as oil and gas prices, interest rates and exchange rates. Moreover, estimating such GAAP measures with the required precision necessary to provide a meaningful reconciliation is extremely difficult and could not be accomplished without unreasonable effort. Non-GAAP measures in respect of future periods which cannot be reconciled to the most comparable GAAP financial measure are calculated in a manner which is consistent with the accounting policies applied in Shell plc’s consolidated financial statements.
