Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-30 CK4
Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-30 CK4 is a high-performance synthetic technology heavy-duty diesel engine oil developed to provide advanced protection for modern low-emission diesel engines. The lubricant combines high-quality synthetic base oil components with advanced Low-SAPS additive technology to deliver improved fuel efficiency, excellent engine cleanliness and strong wear protection. This advanced formulation helps maintain engine reliability and performance while supporting compliance with modern emissions regulations.
One of the key advantages of Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-30 CK4 is its ability to protect modern emission control systems. Many modern diesel engines use exhaust after-treatment technologies such as diesel particulate filters (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce emissions. The advanced low-ash formulation helps minimise the risk of blocking or poisoning these systems, helping maintain emissions compliance and support efficient engine operation. By protecting both the engine and the after-treatment system, the oil contributes to reliable long-term performance in low-emission vehicles and equipment.
Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-30 CK4 also offers strong fuel economy capability. The use of synthetic base oil technology allows the lubricant to reduce internal engine friction while maintaining a durable lubricating film between moving components. This helps improve cold-start performance and reduce fuel consumption compared with conventional engine oils, delivering potential operating cost savings for fleet operators without compromising engine protection.
Another important benefit of Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-30 CK4 is its ability to maintain engine cleanliness and durability over extended service intervals. The advanced additive system helps control piston deposits and sludge formation while maintaining stable viscosity characteristics under demanding operating conditions. This helps ensure consistent lubrication performance and supports reliable engine operation over longer oil drain intervals.
Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-30 CK4 is suitable for use in modern high-power heavy-duty diesel engines used in both on-highway and off-highway applications. It provides reliable protection and performance in engines produced by major European and North American manufacturers, particularly where ACEA E11 or similar specifications are required. The oil is suitable for trucks, buses and heavy equipment operating in demanding environments while meeting the requirements of many leading OEM specifications.
The lubricant meets a wide range of industry specifications including API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CI-4, CH-4 and API SN as well as ACEA E7, E9 and E11. It also carries approvals from major manufacturers including Cummins, Caterpillar, Volvo, Renault Trucks, Mack, MAN, Detroit Diesel, MTU and others. Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 81.8 mm²/s at 40°C and 12.1 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of approximately 141. The oil has a density of approximately 0.863 kg/l at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 237°C and a pour point of approximately –43°C, supporting reliable performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
