Shell Rimula R5 LE 10W-40 is a synthetic technology heavy-duty diesel engine oil designed to deliver enhanced protection and fuel efficiency. It utilizes low-SAPS (sulfated ash, phosphorus, and sulfur) additive technology to protect exhaust emissions control systems, such as diesel particulate filters (DPFs) and catalytic converters. The synthetic 10W-40 formulation provides excellent cold-start performance and rapid oil circulation, guarding against engine wear right from start-up. It effectively controls soot build-up, sludge formation, and deposit accumulation on pistons to maintain optimal engine cleanliness. The oil offers robust defense against thermal breakdown and acid corrosion, enabling extended oil drain intervals. Suitable for modern low-emission and older heavy-duty diesel engines in trucks, buses, and off-highway machinery, it meets major industry specifications including API CK-4/CJ-4, ACEA E9, MB-Approval 228.31, and Volvo VDS-4.5.
