Shell Rimula R7 AD 5W-30 is a premium fully synthetic, low High Temperature High Shear (HTHS) heavy-duty diesel engine oil designed for enhanced fuel economy and low emissions protection. Formulated with Low-SAPS additive technology, it helps protect modern exhaust after-treatment devices like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) systems from fouling and poisoning. The lubricant is specifically tailored for modern Euro 6 engines requiring API FA-4 lubricants, such as Mercedes-Benz OM 470, 471, and 473 series engines, though it is not backward compatible with older machinery. Key specifications and approvals include API FA-4/SN, MB-Approval 228.61, Cummins CES 20087, and Detroit Fluids Specification (DFS) 93K223. Typical technical properties include a Kinematic Viscosity of 60 mm²/s at 40°C, 10.0 mm²/s at 100°C, an HTHS Viscosity of 2.9 mPa·s at 150°C, a Pour Point of -51°C, and a Flash Point of 236°C.
