Purpose and Specifications

Shell Rimula R6 LME 5W-30 is a fully synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oil designed for modern trucks, buses, and heavy equipment with low-emission engines like Euro 4, 5, and 6 from Mercedes-Benz, MAN, DAF, Volvo, and Scania. Its 5W-30 viscosity flows easily in cold starts down to -30°C for quick protection and stays thick up to 150°C under heavy loads, cutting fuel use while protecting against wear.

This low-SAPS formula keeps exhaust systems clean, prevents blocking of diesel particulate filters (DPF), and supports extended oil drain intervals up to 100,000 km or 24 months depending on manufacturer guidelines, saving time and money on maintenance.

When to Use / Replace?

• Use in on-highway trucking, mixed fleets with Euro 2-6 engines, or any heavy-duty diesel needing low-ash protection for emissions compliance.
• Ideal for cold climates with easy winter starts or hot haulage where engines run over 100°C.
• Replace every 60,000-100,000 km or 12-24 months; check your vehicle's manual for exact intervals to match approvals like ACEA E6/E7, MB 228.51.

Shelf life is 5 years unopened in cool, dry storage.
