Shell Rimula R4 Multi 10W-30
Shell Rimula R4 Multi 10W-30 is a high-performance heavy-duty diesel engine oil formulated to provide reliable protection and performance across a wide range of diesel engine applications. Developed using high-quality base oils and advanced additive technology, the lubricant provides what Shell describes as “triple protection” by helping to control wear, reduce deposit formation and resist breakdown caused by high operating temperatures. This combination of protection helps maintain engine efficiency and reliability even in demanding working environments.
One of the key advantages of Shell Rimula R4 Multi 10W-30 is its strong engine cleanliness performance. Diesel engines operating under heavy loads can produce soot and deposits that affect engine efficiency and performance. The lubricant’s advanced dispersant technology helps control sludge and deposit formation across key engine components, including pistons and other critical areas of the engine. By maintaining clean internal engine components, the oil helps ensure consistent engine performance and efficient combustion throughout the service interval.
Shell Rimula R4 Multi 10W-30 also delivers strong protection against engine wear. The formulation contains active anti-wear additives that help form a durable protective oil film between moving metal surfaces. This protective film helps reduce friction and protects critical engine components such as pistons, bearings and cylinder liners from excessive wear. Maintaining a clean engine environment alongside strong wear protection helps extend engine life while preserving engine power and fuel efficiency.
Another important benefit of Shell Rimula R4 Multi 10W-30 is its resistance to thermal degradation and oxidation. Diesel engines operating under heavy loads or high temperatures can place significant stress on lubricants. The oil’s high thermal stability helps it resist breakdown caused by heat, allowing it to maintain its protective properties throughout the service interval. This helps ensure reliable engine protection and stable lubrication performance even under demanding operating conditions.
Shell Rimula R4 Multi 10W-30 is suitable for use in a wide range of turbocharged and naturally aspirated diesel engines operating under normal or heavy-duty conditions. It is particularly recommended for off-highway equipment such as agricultural tractors, construction machinery and mining equipment. The oil meets API CI-4, CH-4, CG-4, CF-4 and CF specifications and also satisfies requirements including Caterpillar ECF-1A and ECF-2, Cummins CES 20078/20076/20075/20072/20071, Mack EO-M and EO-M+ and JASO DH-1.
Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 79.8 mm²/s at 40°C and 12.0 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of approximately 145. The oil has a density of approximately 0.867 kg/l at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 228°C and a pour point of approximately –42°C, supporting reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
