With the introduction of Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5W-40 motor oil, owners of diesel-powered light- and medium-duty trucks can now have all of the benefits of synthetic motor oil with the protection offered by API CJ-4 motor oil, says Shell.
Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5W-40 offers improvements in wear protection, soot control, deposit control, heat resistance and protection in extreme climates, says the company. The motor oil also is said to provide enhanced fuel economy compared to conventional 15W-40 motor oil. Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5W-40 meets or exceeds API CJ-4 specifications.
The products’ multi-functional dispersant additives and synthetic base oils provide an enhanced level of protection against the effects of soot, dirt and other contaminants that cause engine wear and deposits, says the company. It also is said to resist breakdown by heat for better protection under high temperature or severe operation.
Through increased levels of high-performance ashless chemistry that help keep soot particles separated, the product is said to protect against oil thickening caused by soot and other contaminants. This helps keep the motor oil flowing for good start-up and under all operating conditions, says the company.
Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5W-40 formulation is compatible with the exhaust after-treatment devices such as diesel particulate filters (DPF) found on heavy-duty trucks built beginning in January 2007. It is also suitable for heavy-duty diesel engines built prior to 2007.
