Application:

Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 is a high-performance low-SAPS heavy-duty diesel engine oil designed to protect modern Euro 3/4/5/6 engines equipped with after-treatment systems such as diesel particulate filters (DPF). Engineered with synthetic technology, this oil offers outstanding protection, longer oil life, and improved emissions system compatibility, especially for European on-highway fleets operating under extended drain schedules.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Low-SAPS Additive Technology: Helps protect exhaust after-treatment systems (e.g., DPF, SCR) from ash accumulation and catalyst poisoning.
  • Maintenance Savings: Designed to meet long oil drain requirements of leading OEMs, reducing downtime and service frequency.
  • Engine Cleanliness: Provides excellent piston deposit control, promoting long-term engine reliability and cleanliness.
  • Fuel Efficiency: Supports fuel economy through optimized viscosity and low-ash composition, maintaining emissions compliance.
  • OEM Approved: Meets key industry standards and manufacturer specs including ACEA E6, E8, and DAF; optimized for Mercedes-Benz long drain intervals.

Main Application Areas:

  • Modern Euro 3/4/5/6-compliant diesel engines
  • Heavy-duty trucks and commercial fleet vehicles
  • Engines equipped with DPFs and other emissions systems
  • On-highway and long-haul operations requiring extended oil drain capabilities

Usage Instructions:

  • Always follow the OEM’s oil grade and drain interval recommendations.
  • Use in engines requiring ACEA E6 or E8 specifications and low-ash (low-SAPS) lubricants.
  • Not for use in engines where high-SAPS oils are required.

Environmental & Safety Information:

  • Use appropriate protection when handling used oil; avoid skin contact and wash thoroughly after use.
  • Dispose of used oil at designated recycling points. Do not release into soil or water sources.
  • Safety Data Sheet (SDS) available via inquiry
