Up To 50% Better Engine Cleanliness,Up To 50% More Cleanliness Control, Up To 30% Better Wear Protection, Up To 50% Better Acid Corrosion Protection1, Acea: E7, E5, E3,Jaso: Dh-1 Detailed Analysis of Benefits: Engine Cleanliness: The high detergency level of Shell RIMULA R4 X 15W-40 helps to keep engines clean by preventing sludge and deposit formation. This is crucial for maintaining engine performance and efficiency. Cleaner engines run more efficiently, with fewer risks of unplanned maintenance due to clogged components or impaired lubrication pathways. Wear Protection: Anti-wear additives in Shell RIMULA R4 X 15W-40 form a protective layer on engine components, reducing metal-to-metal contact and minimizing wear. This protection is particularly important in high-stress applications where engines are subjected to heavy loads, high speeds, and extreme temperatures. Oxidation Stability: Shell RIMULA R4 X 15W-40's oxidation stability prevents the oil from breaking down under high-temperature conditions. This ensures that the oil maintains its protective properties over extended service intervals. Oxidation stability also helps in preventing the formation of acids and other harmful by-products that can lead to corrosion and sludge. Fuel Economy: By maintaining engine cleanliness and reducing friction, Shell RIMULA R4 X 15W-40 can contribute to improved fuel economy. Cleaner engines operate more efficiently, and reduced friction means less energy is lost to heat. This can result in significant cost savings over time, especially for fleet operators who manage large numbers of vehicles. Environmental Impact: Shell RIMULA R4 X 15W-40 is formulated to protect exhaust after-treatment devices, such as Diesel Particulate Filters (DPF). This helps in reducing emissions and ensuring compliance with environmental regulations. The extended oil drain intervals reduce the frequency of oil changes, leading to less waste oil generation and a lower environmental footprint.
