Description

Shell HD5 Fleet 10W-40 is a synthetic engine oil from the Shell HD line for the diesel engines of long-haul trucks. It is low in sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur and is designed for extended drain intervals.

The oil is rated ACEA E6 and E8 and holds the official DTFR 15C110 approval.

Typical figures: 14.5 mm²/s at 100 °C, 98.8 mm²/s at 40 °C, viscosity index 152, base number 10.4 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1 %, pour point -42 °C, flash point 232 °C.

Application

Long-haul heavy trucks up to Euro 6, chiefly European makes such as Mercedes-Benz, and engines that call for ACEA E6 or E8, on extended drain intervals.

Worth knowing

The code DTFR 15C110 is read in parts, and for this oil both the letter and the last three digits matter. As the article on ACEA E, DTFR, MAN and Volvo codes for trucks explains, the letter C marks a low-SAPS oil for vehicles with a particulate filter, B an oil for vehicles without one, and 15C110 corresponds to the former MB 228.51 with an extended interval. Neighbouring Shell oils of the same 10W-40 viscosity have other numbers: Rimula R5 E is DTFR 15B110 with ash of 1.2 %, Rimula R5 M is DTFR 15B120, so both belong to the B branch. Rimula R5 LE is also low-SAPS, but its number is 15C100, the former MB 228.31, and 15C110 is not in its entry. Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 holds the same ACEA E6, E8 and DTFR 15C110, with identical typical figures.

The HD5 Fleet data sheet also gives a low-temperature figure: dynamic viscosity at -25 °C by ASTM D5293 is 6,133 mPa·s. The SAE J300 standard limits this figure for grade 10W to 7,000 mPa·s at the same temperature.
