Description
Shell Rimula R5 E 10W-40 is a fuel-economy diesel oil from the Rimula line for on-road and off-road Euro 2/3 engines in severe service, with easier cold starting claimed.
The oil is rated API CI-4, CH-4, ACEA E7, E5, E3 and Global DHD-1 and holds official approvals Cummins CES 20071, Cummins CES 20072, Cummins CES 20076, Cummins CES 20077, Cummins CES 20078, Deutz DQC III-18, DTFR 15B110, Mack EO-M, Mack EO-M Plus, Renault Trucks RLD-2 and Volvo VDS-3, and meets MAN M 3275-1 without approval.
Typical figures: 14.2 mm²/s at 100 °C, viscosity index 150, base number 10 mg KOH/g, sulphated ash 1.2 %.
With a particulate filter, the maker recommends Rimula R6 LM or R6 LME.
Application
Euro 2/3 diesels in on-road and off-road equipment under severe operating conditions; biodiesel is permitted on the equipment maker's intervals.
Worth knowing
The ACEA E5 class in this oil’s list was withdrawn long ago, but one of its Cummins codes is built on it. CES 20077 is ACEA E5 plus a 300-hour test (more in the article on Cummins, CAT and Deutz codes for equipment oil), while Deutz DQC III-18 is built on E4 or E7 with Deutz’s own requirements. DTFR 15B110 corresponds to the former MB 228.3, which also appears in the name on the data sheet; the letter B in the number marks an oil for vehicles without a particulate filter.
For Volvo this oil holds the VDS-3 approval, for Renault Trucks RLD-2. Volvo expressly allows VDS-4.5 oil in engines previously specified for VDS-3, and an approval of that kind is held by oils of the same viscosity such as Rimula R5 LE 10W-40, which has the same API CI-4 and ACEA E7 and ash of 1 % instead of 1.2 %. Its Cummins set is different, CES 20081 and 20086 instead of CES 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077 and 20078, and it has no Mack EO-M, EO-M Plus or DTFR 15B110.
