Shell Lubricants has introduced Shell ROTELLA®T with Triple Protection™
technology, a new and improved formulation designed to meet the new API CJ-4 service category for heavy-duty diesel engine oils. Shell ROTELLA®T with Triple Protection technology provides significantly lower wear, exceptional deposit control and engine cleanliness for both pre-2007 engines and the latest performance and emissions systems technology found on new 2007 truck engines.
“Shell ROTELLA®T with Triple Protection™ technology meets or exceeds API CJ-4 specifications in part due to an exclusive detergent system designed for outstanding control of piston deposits in 2007 engines,” says Dan Arcy, Technical Marketing Manager for Shell Lubricants. “We also expect that Owner/Operators and Fleet Maintenance technicians will be able to visibly notice the outstanding wear protection for valve train components.”
Based on extensive industry recognized engine wear tests done by Shell Lubricants, Shell ROTELLA®T with Triple Protection™ technology provides on average 50 percent greater wear protection (ranging from 27% to 88% reduced wear) than the previous formulation. These laboratory based findings are backed up by the results of over 5.5 million miles of on-highway road testing using current generation engines in which significantly lower iron wear was found.
“We were very pleased with the way the new Shell ROTELLA® T with Triple Protection™ technology performed in key industry tests, such as the Cummins ISM tests where it scored maximum merits for wear-protection,” says Arcy. "For example in the Cummins ISM engine test, valve adjuster screws showed less wear and scratching.”
In addition, Shell ROTELLA®T with Triple Protection™ technology is formulated with 30 percent more active ashless chemistry for outstanding protection against deposits and sludge. Shell ROTELLA®T with Triple Protection™ technology features a unique detergent system exclusive to Shell designed for outstanding control of high temperature piston deposit.
New Shell ROTELLA®T with Triple Protection™ technology was designed to optimize the durability and performance of DPFs (diesel particulate filters). Overall, the lower ash content in the oil will mean the DPF will potentially need to be cleaned less often which can mean lower maintenance costs. Another benefit is it helps maintain fuel economy.
Of course, Shell ROTELLA® T with Triple Protection™ technology continues to offer outstanding performance in other areas, including resistance to viscosity loss due to shear down and soot induced thickening to help maintain consistent viscosity throughout the maintenance interval.
Shell ROTELLA®T with Triple Protection™ technology will be available in bulk and drums beginning July 1st and in quart, gallon and pail packages beginning October 15th.
