Why choose Shell Engine Oils for Trucks?
Protection Against Deposits:
Shell engine oils help keep modern high-output diesel engines clean by actively removing dirt and deposits, ensuring optimal efficiency and lower fuel costs.
Corrosion Protection
Shell lubricants neutralize harmful acids and gases produced during combustion, preventing corrosion and reducing the risk of engine failure.
Wear Protection
Adaptive molecules in Shell oils form a protective film under heat and pressure, reducing wear at critical high-pressure contact points like the valve train.
Fuel Economy
Shell's low-viscosity oils deliver excellent fuel economy without compromising wear protection or oil life, matching the performance of thicker oils.
Long Oil Life
High-quality synthetic Shell oils resist oxidation, soot accumulation, and oil thickening, maintaining performance characteristics for longer periods.

Overcoming Fleet challenges with Shell Rimula: The Engine Oil that delivers
In fleet operations, heavy-duty diesel engines are the lifeblood of trucks, buses, and coaches. These engines power the movement of goods and people, but they also face a host of operational challenges that can impact performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.
One of the biggest hurdles for fleet operators is managing the wear and tear caused by extreme operating conditions:
- High loads
- Long hours
- Varying temperatures
These factors put immense pressure on engine components. Add to this the need to meet stringent emissions standards like Euro VI, and the challenge becomes even more complex. Engines must perform efficiently while reducing harmful emissions—often requiring advanced lubrication solutions.
Another key concern is maintenance. Frequent oil changes and downtime for cleaning components like Diesel Particulate Filters (DPFs) can disrupt operations and inflate costs. For fleet operators, every hour a vehicle is off the road is an hour of lost productivity.
Shell Rimula has been designed to tackle these challenges head-on. Shell Rimula heavy-duty engine oils offer:
- Advanced protection and performance
- Reduced friction and improved fuel efficiency
- Extended oil drain intervals (ODIs), keeping vehicles on the road longer
- Lower maintenance costs
Whether it’s extending ODIs to 500 hours for shuttle trucks in a busy harbor or helping fleets meet emissions standards without compromising performance, Shell Rimula is the trusted partner for fleet operators worldwide.
