Application:

Shell Rimula R3+ 30 is a monograde heavy-duty diesel engine oil designed for consistent protection and long service life in older diesel engines, agricultural machinery, construction vehicles, and stationary equipment. It combines high thermal stability with a powerful detergent system to minimize wear and control deposits, maintaining optimal engine performance under continuous or severe operation.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • High Piston Cleanliness: Ensures minimal deposit build-up for reliable engine function and thermal efficiency.
  • Wear Protection: Reduces engine wear and extends component life even under high-load and high-temperature conditions.
  • OEM Approved: Meets API CF, MAN 270, MTU Category 1, and former MB 228.0 specifications.
  • Biodiesel Compatibility: Safe for use with biodiesel when used according to OEM oil change intervals.
  • Multifunction Use: Suitable for use in diesel engines, hydraulic systems, and transmissions where monograde oil is required.

Main Application Areas:

  • Older on-highway and off-highway diesel vehicles
  • Construction and agricultural machinery
  • Hydraulic systems and transmissions (if engine oil is specified)
  • Stationary engines and industrial pumps under continuous operation

Usage Instructions:

  • Follow equipment manufacturer specifications for SAE 30 monograde oils.
  • Not suitable for Detroit Diesel two-stroke engines; use SAE 40 API CF-II with <1% sulphated ash instead.
  • Drain intervals should align with OEM guidelines, especially when using biodiesel.

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Avoid prolonged contact with used oil. Use protective gloves and wash skin thoroughly after handling.
  • Do not dispose of used oil into drains, water, or soil. Dispose of at authorized collection points.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
