The Durability Challenge

A higher loaded engine has to last longer

Engine oil needs to work harder

Extended ODI up to 150.000 km

Reduced oil consumption
Higher oil temperature
Durability Higher combustion pressure
(up to 1.500.000 km) Higher combustion temperature
Biofuel mandate
Fuel Economy
Compositional constraints

The Durability Challenge

Engine oil performance needs to be improved

AND performance needs to be demonstrated in real world

Oxidation stability
Nitration stability
Shear stability
Durability TBN retention
Sustained dispersancy
(up to 1.500.000 km) Sustained wear protection
Low viscosity grade
Low SAPS
Biofuel compatibility

LLC Lenstroyservice in Russia
Shell Rimula R5 E 10W-40 Diesel Engines in Volvo L150E loaders
1 CHALLENGE
Construction company
Lenstroyservice operates 19 Volvo
L150E loaders. The company was
using Shell Rimula R3 X 15W-40
mineral oil and changing the oil
every 250 hours. Lenstroyservice
wanted to extend the oil-drain
interval and reduce its maintenance
costs.
2 SOLUTION 3 OUTCOME
The Shell technical team suggested By switching to Shell Rimula R5 E
that the company should change to and using Shell LubeAnalyst,
Shell Rimula R5 E 10W-40, a Lenstroyservice found that it could

LubeAnalyst oil and equipment
condition monitoring service.
VALUE
Since it changed to Shell Rimula R5 E, Lenstroyservice has reduced its
maintenance costs and its lubricant and filter consumption. As a
result, the company has reported total annual savings of
US$21,630.10.
The savings indicated are specific to the calculation date and mentioned site. These calculations may vary from site to site, depending on
the application, the operating conditions, the current products being used, the condition of the equipment and maintenance practices. 9

1 CHALLENGE 2 SOLUTION 3 OUTCOME

Dragasur sought to reduce Shell technical experts By changing to Shell Rimula R6 M*,
operating costs by improving recommended changing to Shell the company has obtained several
maintenance practices for its heavy- Rimula R6 M*, a fully synthetic operational benefits:
duty trucks and cutter-suction heavy-duty diesel engine oil that extended ODIs by 180%, from
dredgers offers durability and long oil life, 250 hours to 700 hours
and using the Shell LubeCoach increased availability and
lubrication training program to reliability of its units
train staff in maintenance.
improved maintenance practices

VALUE
The extended ODI has resulted in reduced lubricant consumption and
maintenance costs, with significant reported savings of
US$1,247,758 per annum.

The savings indicated are specific to the calculation date and mentioned site. These calculations may vary from site to site, depending on
the application, the operating conditions, the current products being used, the condition of the equipment and maintenance practices. 10
