Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 CK4
Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 is a high-performance heavy-duty diesel engine oil designed to deliver reliable protection for modern low-emission diesel engines. Formulated using advanced Low-SAPS (sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur) additive technology, the lubricant helps protect both the engine and sensitive exhaust after-treatment systems. The formulation is engineered to provide responsive engine protection, improved cleanliness and long oil drain capability, helping operators reduce maintenance requirements while maintaining reliable engine performance.
One of the key advantages of Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 is its compatibility with 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 harmful emissions. The advanced low-ash formulation helps control the build-up of deposits that could block or poison these systems, helping maintain vehicle emission compliance and supporting efficient engine operation.
Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 also supports extended oil drain intervals and reduced maintenance requirements. The formulation has been designed to meet the long oil drain capabilities specified by major engine manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz. By maintaining strong resistance to oxidation and controlling deposit formation, the lubricant helps operators optimise maintenance scheduling and reduce vehicle downtime while maintaining consistent engine protection throughout the service interval.
Another important benefit of Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 is its ability to maintain engine cleanliness and durability. The advanced additive system helps prevent piston deposits and sludge formation, keeping critical engine components clean. Maintaining clean engine internals helps ensure reliable engine operation and supports the durability of components even during extended oil drain intervals and demanding operating conditions.
Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 is recommended for use in modern high-power heavy-duty diesel engines used in both on-highway and off-highway applications. It provides strong protection and performance in engines produced by leading European manufacturers, particularly where ACEA E6 or ACEA E8 specifications are required. The lubricant is commonly used in commercial trucks, buses and heavy-duty equipment operating under demanding conditions where long service intervals and low-emission performance are important.
The oil meets key industry specifications including ACEA E6 and ACEA E8 and complies with DTFR 15C110 requirements. It also meets DAF requirements where ACEA E6 performance is specified. Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 98.8 mm²/s at 40°C and 14.5 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of approximately 152. The oil has a density of approximately 0.866 kg/l at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 232°C and a pour point of approximately –42°C, supporting reliable lubrication performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
