Purpose and Specifications

Shell Rimula R6 LM 10W-40 is a fully synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oil in a convenient 5L container, crafted for trucks, buses, and heavy equipment from brands like Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF, and Volvo. Its 10W-40 viscosity flows smoothly at cold starts down to -25°C for quick protection and stays thick up to 150°C to shield engines under extreme loads.

Powered by exclusive Low-SAPS additives, it cuts exhaust filter clogging, boosts fuel economy by up to 45% versus thicker oils, and delivers up to 53% better wear protection for pistons and valves. This means longer engine life, cleaner operation, and maintenance savings with oil drains stretching to 150,000 km or 24 months per OEM specs like MB 228.51.

• Perfect for Euro 2-6 engines, including low-emission and CNG models
• Proven in millions of kilometers for real-world trucking
• Reduces oil top-ups and fights deposits for hassle-free performance

When to Use / Replace?

Use this oil in on-highway heavy-duty diesels with DPF systems or strict emission controls. Ideal for mixed fleets running long hauls in varied weather. Replace every 150,000 km, 24 months, or per your truck's service indicator - whichever comes first. Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.

Switch to it if your current oil clogs filters, burns fuel fast, or wears parts early. Always check your owner's manual for exact fit.
