Description

Overview:
Shell Rimula R5 E is a semi-synthetic heavy-duty diesel engine oil engineered with Dynamic Protection Plus Technology to deliver advanced protection, fuel economy, and lower emissions. It is designed for modern trucks, buses, and off-road machinery that face tough Kenyan road conditions, high heat, and demanding long-haul operations. With its adaptive technology, it ensures that engines perform efficiently, stay cleaner for longer, and comply with low-emission standards.

Key Features & Benefits:

• Fuel Economy Advantage
  Formulated with synthetic base oils and advanced additives that reduce engine drag, helping operators save fuel — an essential benefit in Kenya’s transport economy.

• Emission System Compatibility
  Protects modern low-emission engines by minimizing ash and deposits that can damage exhaust after-treatment systems (like DPFs).

• Enhanced Engine Durability
  Provides strong wear protection and deposit control, ensuring long engine life even in stop-and-go Nairobi traffic or cross-country trucking routes.

• Oxidation & Thermal Resistance
  Withstands high operating temperatures, ensuring the oil does not break down in Kenya’s hot climate, extending oil-drain intervals and lowering maintenance costs.

• Cold-Start Protection
  Semi-synthetic formulation allows for faster oil circulation during start-up, reducing wear during early engine operation.

• Versatile Performance
  Suitable for both highway fleets and heavy off-road equipment in construction, mining, and agriculture.

Recommended Applications:

• Modern heavy-duty diesel trucks and long-haul trailers.

• Buses and public transport fleets.

• Agricultural tractors and machinery.

• Construction and mining equipment.

• Engines requiring API CI-4 Plus, ACEA E7/E9, or equivalent OEM approvals.

Viscosity Grades Available in Kenya:

• 10W-40 – A robust grade offering the right balance of protection, fuel economy, and adaptability for Kenyan conditions.
