Product Description

Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 diesel engine oil is a full synthetic motor oil that features exclusive Triple Protection Plus technology, formulated with fully synthetic base oils plus advanced additives to protect against wear, deposits, and oil breakdown. It also provides better low temperature flow and increased fuel economy performance, without compromising durability, compared to conventional SAE 15W-40 oils. Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 Full Synthetic motor oil is suitable for virtually all modern low-emission heavy duty engines and older hard working diesel engines (consult your owner's manual for heavy duty engine oil recommendations). With its wide range of specifications and approvals from many of the world's leading engine makers, it is an excellent choice for on-highway fleets, general haul, construction, agriculture, public-transport operators, and diesel pick-up trucks. Exceeds the requirements of the following industry specifications: API: CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4; ACEA E9. Meets or exceeds the following OEM requirements: Allison TES 439; Caterpillar ECF-2/ECF-3; Cummins CES 20086, 20081; Detroit Fluid Specification (DFS) 93K222, 93K218; Ford WSS-M2C171-F1; JASO DH-2, JASO MA/MA2; MAN M3575; MACK EOS-4.5; MB-Approval 228.31; Volvo VDS-4.5, 4.

SHELL ROTELLA T6 5W-40 FULL SYNTHETIC


FUEL ECONOMY Through the use of Shell’s most advanced technology, Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 full synthetic heavy duty engine oil offers enhanced fuel economy capability of up to 1.5%* that can save money in fuel consumption, without compromising engine protection or durability. (*Compared to SAE 15W-40 heavy duty engine oils.)	WEAR PERFORMANCE Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 full synthetic (CK-4) provides excellent protection against harmful engine wear. In 30 API CK-4 and OEM wear test parameters and 10 separate passing engine tests, the average result for Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 was 50% of the respective limit.	LOW TEMPERATURE FLOW In an engine motored at -34 °C, oil flow between the sump and gallery was considerably faster with Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 compared to the Shell Rotella T4 Triple Protection 15W-40. This means that the oil reaches critical engine parts faster.	EMISSIONS COMPATIBILITY Advanced low-ash formulation helps control blocking or poisoning of exhaust after-treatment devices, helping maintain vehicle emission compliance and engine fuel efficiency

BENEFITS OF SYNTHETIC OIL


BETTER GAS MILEAGE + FEWER EMISSIONS Synthetic motor oil molecules are uniform in size, which decreases engine friction and improves fuel economy. The less fuel burned, the fewer emissions created.	KEEPS YOUR ENGINE CLEANER Conventional oils form sludge deposits over time, reducing your engine's efficiency and lifespan. Synthetic oils resist sludge and deposit formation.	BETTER FOR YOUR ENGINE Although conventional oil provides adequate lubrication, it doesn't compete with synthetic oil's overall engine protection and performance.

BUILT TO WORK. MADE TO PLAY.


HARD-WORKING You need your hard-working engines to keep up with your demanding workload. That’s why we created Shell Rotella, for hard-working engines to reduce engine wear and tear.	AGRICULTURE & FARMING Keep your equipment working in the field while at the same time managing your overall costs of operation. Reduce engine wear and tear with Shell Rotella.	DIESEL PICKUP TRUCKS Diesel engines are a special breed, offering more power and higher torque but with a higher shearing rate and more soot. Shell Rotella's low-ash formulation provides enhanced protection against viscosity loss due to shear and high temperature oxidation.
