Shell Gadinia AL 30 is a premium-quality, marine-grade diesel engine lubricant specifically developed for highly rated, medium-speed trunk piston engines operating on distillate fuels (ISO 8217 DMX, DMA, DMZ) under severe conditions. Formulated to control oil consumption, prevent liner lacquering, and maintain superior engine cleanliness, this lubricant is optimized for modern, low-emission marine propulsion and auxiliary power generation systems. Featuring a specialized additive chemistry with a 15 TBN (Total Base Number) buffer, Shell Gadinia AL 30 offers exceptional acid neutralization capacity to safeguard engine components against corrosive wear caused by fuel sulfur combustion. It delivers outstanding thermal and oxidative stability, which effectively limits viscosity increase and prevents carbon, varnish, and lacquer build-up in the high-temperature piston ring zone. The 20-liter pail packaging provides an excellent ergonomic solution for vessel operators, offering a highly portable and convenient size for targeted oil changes, regular top-ups, or manual fluid replenishment in smaller auxiliary units, coastal commercial crafts, and offshore platform equipment where handling massive 209-liter drums is impractical
