Shell Lubricants has introduced Shell ROTELLA T5 Ultra 10W-30 synthetic blend which meets the API FA-4 service category for 2017 (and beyond) diesel engines. The low viscosity oil has been formulated to provide better fuel economy, improved high and low temperature performance and meets the requirements for many low emissions engines built beginning in 2017.
"Shell ROTELLA T5 Ultra 10W-30 synthetic blend is designed for next-generation on-road diesel engines to help maximize fuel economy without sacrificing engine protection," said Megan Pino, Shell ROTELLA global brand manager. "It is designed to provide protection that adapts to driving conditions and is formulated to minimize oil consumption and protect exhaust catalysts and particulate filters."
Backed by extensive testing, Shell ROTELLA T5 Ultra 10W-30 is designed for engines requiring an FA-4 engine oil. This heavy duty engine oil has been enhanced with synthetic base oils plus advanced additive technology to provide protection against wear, deposits and oil breakdown. The oil also offers improved fuel economy performance versus a conventional SAE 15W-40. The fuel economy benefits from Shell ROTELLA T5 Ultra 10W-30 help reduce CO2 emissions.
The exclusive low ash formulation in Shell ROTELLA T5 Ultra 10W-30 helps protect the exhaust catalysts and particulate filters found on 2017 on-highway low emission vehicles. It is suitable for use in on-highway engines requiring an API FA-4 diesel oil. Some manufacturers are allowing limited backwards compatibility to previous generation engines in addition to current GHG 2017 engines. FA-4 oils were designed for low CO2 emissions engines. Please refer to OEM manuals to verify oil requirement for each vehicle.
Shell ROTELLA T5 Ultra 10W-30 engine oil contains Triple Protection Plus technology which is the unique combination of advanced additive technology and synthetic base oils. Triple Protection Plus represents protection against wear, deposits, oil breakdown plus better fuel economy performance. This unique combination helps to deliver excellent equipment protection, long engine life and maintain viscosity control under high temperatures.
Shell ROTELLA T5 Ultra 10W-30 will provide a fuel economy benefit due to its low-HTHS (high temperature-high shear) viscosity. Low HTHS oils are designed to provide fuel economy above and beyond current CJ-4 and CK-4 oils through the use of thinner viscosity fluids.
