Shell Rimula R6 LME Plus 5W-30 CK4
Shell Rimula R6 LME Plus 5W-30 CK4 is a premium fully synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oil developed to deliver advanced protection and efficiency for modern diesel engines. Formulated with Shell’s advanced Low-SAPS additive technology and high-performance synthetic base oils, the lubricant helps protect engines and emission control systems while delivering improved fuel economy and extended oil life. This advanced formulation is designed to support modern low-emission engines while helping operators reduce maintenance costs and optimise fleet efficiency.
One of the key advantages of Shell Rimula R6 LME Plus 5W-30 CK4 is its enhanced fuel economy capability. The use of advanced synthetic base oil technology helps reduce internal engine friction while maintaining a strong lubricating film between moving components. Compared with higher viscosity engine oils, this can help reduce fuel consumption while still delivering reliable engine protection and durability. Improved fuel efficiency can help reduce overall operating costs for fleet operators.
Shell Rimula R6 LME Plus 5W-30 CK4 also supports extended oil drain intervals and reduced maintenance requirements. The lubricant meets the long drain requirements of major engine manufacturers including Mercedes-Benz and MAN. Its high resistance to oxidation and deposit formation helps ensure stable lubrication performance over extended service intervals, allowing operators to optimise maintenance schedules while maintaining reliable engine protection.
Another important benefit of Shell Rimula R6 LME Plus 5W-30 CK4 is its compatibility with modern exhaust after-treatment systems. Many modern diesel engines use technologies such as diesel particulate filters (DPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce emissions. The advanced low-ash formulation helps control the formation of deposits that could block or poison these systems, helping maintain vehicle emission compliance while supporting efficient engine operation.
Shell Rimula R6 LME Plus 5W-30 CK4 also provides excellent wear protection and engine cleanliness. The advanced additive system helps maintain high levels of piston cleanliness and protects critical engine components from wear, supporting long engine life and consistent engine performance. The formulation is designed to meet the demanding wear protection requirements of modern diesel engines used across multiple vehicle platforms.
Shell Rimula R6 LME Plus 5W-30 CK4 is particularly suited for heavy-duty trucking and transportation fleets operating modern low-emission vehicles from manufacturers such as Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF and others. It is suitable for fleets operating mixed generations of engines from Euro 2 through to Euro 6.
The lubricant meets a wide range of industry and OEM specifications including ACEA E6, E7, E8, E9 and E11 along with API CK-4, CJ-4, CI-4 Plus, CI-4, CH-4 and SN. It also carries approvals from major manufacturers including Cummins, Caterpillar, Volvo, Renault Trucks, Mack, MAN, Scania, Detroit Diesel and others. Physical characteristics include a kinematic viscosity of approximately 75 mm²/s at 40°C and 12.1 mm²/s at 100°C with a viscosity index of approximately 159. The oil has a density of approximately 845 kg/m³ at 15°C, a flash point of approximately 239°C and a pour point of approximately –48°C, supporting reliable lubrication performance across a wide range of operating conditions.
