Product Description

Shell Gadinia S3 40 is an advanced, multi-functional marine diesel engine lubricant specifically engineered for highly rated, medium-speed trunk piston engines operating on distillate fuels (with sulfur content up to 1%). This heavy SAE 40 viscosity grade lubricant is highly versatile, making it an excellent match not only for main and auxiliary propulsion systems but also for smaller marine reduction gears, stern tubes, deck machinery, and specialized turbochargers requiring a high-viscosity oil. Formulated with premium mineral base stocks and a dedicated additive package, Shell Gadinia S3 40 excels at controlling high-temperature piston deposits, preventing ring sticking, and resisting liner lacquering. Its 12 TBN (Total Base Number) chemistry provides excellent acid neutralization to insulate internal engine components against corrosive wear from fuel combustion byproducts. It features outstanding load-carrying capacity, extreme shear stability, and superior demulsibility, ensuring reliable operation and clean fluid separation in marine centrifuges. The 20-liter pail packaging offers a practical, highly portable solution for vessel operators. This size is ideal for manual top-ups, precise oil adjustments, or routine maintenance on smaller auxiliary units and coastal commercial crafts where mobilizing massive 209-liter drums is inefficient or restricted by space constraints.
