Shell Lubricants has unveiled its revamped Shell Rotella “Energized Protection” product portfolio, which the company said features a new synthetic blend engine oil, a new formula for its full synthetic engine oil and a new performance claim for Shell Rotella T Triple Protection.
All Shell Lubricants heavy-duty engine oils have been consolidated under the Shell Rotella Energized Protection portfolio, the company added. All Shell Rimula, Pennzoil Long Life and Quaker State HDX products have been renamed and will be enfolded into the portfolio in the first quarter of 2010. The portfolio meets the requirements of on- and off-highway equipment, including the latest vehicles fitted with diesel particulate filters (DPF) and catalysts. All Shell Rotella multi-grade engine oils meet API CJ-4 standards. The company’s CI-4 PLUS engine oils will be phased out by the end of 2009.
The new formulation of Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic SAE 5W-40 oil offers protection for the latest low emissions technology for aftertreatment systems and helps promote energy savings and maintenance savings, Shell noted.
The new Shell Rotella T5 synthetic blend technology oil is formulated to provide fuel economy performance and improved low-temperature flow, compared with conventional Shell Rotella T Triple Protection 15W-40 engine oil. Shell Rotella T Triple Protection has shown up to a 22% reduction in engine wear (reduction in iron wear based on comparative field testing against Shell Rotella T3 SAE 15W-40 CJ-4).
Shell Rotella T3 is specifically designed for fleets. Its formulation features low-ash additive technology, outstanding shear stability and an all-group-II basestock formulation, the company said. Shell Rotella T1 is a quality, straight grade engine oil in SAE 10W, 30, 40 and 50, the company noted.
All Shell Rotella heavy-duty oils provide protection in three critical areas by helping to control acids, deposits and wear, the company said. The adaptive technology allows the oil to protect across all driving conditions, physically or chemically reacting to the ever-changing needs of an engine.
