Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-40 CK4
Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-40 CK4 is a high-performance synthetic technology heavy-duty diesel engine oil designed to deliver reliable protection and improved efficiency for modern diesel engines. Formulated using high-quality synthetic base oil components and advanced Low-SAPS additive technology, the lubricant helps protect engines and exhaust after-treatment systems while delivering excellent wear protection and engine cleanliness. The advanced formulation supports modern emission control technologies while helping operators maintain reliable engine performance in demanding operating conditions.
One of the key advantages of Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-40 CK4 is its ability to protect modern emission control systems. Many heavy-duty diesel engines use exhaust after-treatment devices such as diesel particulate filters (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce emissions. The oil’s advanced low-ash formulation helps reduce the risk of blocking or poisoning these systems, helping maintain emission compliance while supporting efficient engine operation and fuel economy.
Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-40 CK4 also provides excellent fuel economy performance. 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 without compromising engine protection or durability. For fleet operators, this can translate into reduced operating costs and improved overall vehicle efficiency.
Another important benefit of Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-40 CK4 is its ability to maintain engine cleanliness and reliability over extended service intervals. The advanced additive system helps control piston deposits and sludge formation while maintaining stable viscosity under demanding operating conditions. This ensures consistent lubrication performance and supports extended oil drain intervals where recommended by equipment manufacturers.
Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-40 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 leading European and North American manufacturers, particularly where ACEA E11 or similar specifications are required. The oil is suitable for trucks, buses and heavy-duty equipment operating under demanding conditions and can also be used with biodiesel fuels when following OEM recommended oil drain intervals.
The lubricant meets a wide range of industry and OEM 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 manufacturers including Cummins, Caterpillar, Volvo, Renault Trucks, Mack, MAN, Detroit Diesel and MTU. Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 102 mm²/s at 40°C and 14.8 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of approximately 152. The oil has a density of approximately 0.862 kg/l at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 237°C and a pour point of approximately –42°C, supporting reliable lubrication performance across a wide range of operating environments.
