Shell Rimula Engine oils
Deliver optimal performance and protection for your agricultural machinery with Shell Rimula
The engines in your combine harvesters, tractors and cotton pickers need to work reliably and efficiently especially during harvesting season. Heavy-duty diesel engine oils should protect against corrosion and sludge to extend equipment life, thereby giving you lower operating costs and increased equipment availability.
Shell Rimula product benefits
Acid protection
In the engine, combustion acids can escape into the crankcase. Low quality oils may fail to protect vital components from these acids, leading to corrosion that may cause catastrophic engine failure.
Shell Rimula oils contain powerful antioxidant agents that adapt chemically to neutralise acids before they can damage your oil and your engine.
Deposit protection
Whether it’s piston deposits or crankcase sludge, dirt in your engine can reduce its efficiency and increase your fuel costs. Shell Rimula diesel engine oils contain molecules that adapt to remove and then block deposit-forming particles to help keep engines clean and protected.
Wear control
Wear protection is particularly critical at high-pressure contact points, such as in the engine valve train and gearbox. Shell Rimula diesel engine oils have adaptive molecules that are designed to protect the engine by reacting under heat and pressure to form a protective film that helps to reduce wear.
Shell Dynamic Protection Plus technology represents the pinnacle of innovation in heavy-duty engine oils. This advanced technology is designed to provide adaptive protection, responding to the changing demands of modern engines. By combining high-quality synthetic base oils with advanced additives, this technology ensures that your engines are protected under all conditions, whether on long highway hauls or in stop-and-go urban traffic.
