Application:

Shell Rimula R3 10W is a premium quality monograde heavy-duty diesel engine oil designed for engines operating under steady load, harsh environments, or older on-highway vehicles. Its active-detergent additive system helps keep engine components clean and well-protected, delivering dependable performance across various off-road and industrial applications.

Performance Features & Benefits:

  • Active-Detergent System: Effectively removes dirt and deposits to keep pistons and internal engine parts clean.
  • High Thermal Stability: Provides excellent oxidation resistance, preventing oil breakdown under heat stress.
  • Long Component Life: Helps reduce engine wear, maintain power output, and extend service intervals.
  • OEM Accepted: Approved by a wide range of equipment manufacturers for diesel engine use.
  • Versatile Application: Suitable for engines in off-highway vehicles, construction machinery, and certain hydraulic and transmission systems.
  • Stationary Equipment Compatibility: Performs reliably in continuous-running units like industrial pumps.

Usage Instructions:

  • Use in accordance with OEM guidelines for older diesel engines or machinery requiring monograde SAE 10W oil.
  • Do not use in Detroit Diesel two-stroke engines. Instead, use SAE 40 oils meeting API CF-II with <1% sulphated ash.
  • Ensure oil changes are conducted as per equipment manufacturer recommendations for optimal performance.

Environmental & Safety Considerations:

  • Used oil should be disposed of at an authorised collection point.
  • Do not release used oil into drains, water, or soil.
  • When handling used oil, avoid skin contact and use appropriate protective equipment.

Application Areas:

Suitable for use in construction vehicles, agricultural machinery, older commercial trucks, transmissions, hydraulics (where engine oil is specified), and stationary diesel engines operating at constant loads.
