Description

Shell Rimula R5 LM 10W-40 is a Rimula engine oil for truck and bus diesel engines. It is low in sulphated ash, phosphorus and sulphur and is designed for extended drain intervals, particularly in Mercedes-Benz engines.

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, density 866 kg/m³.

Application

Modern diesel engines in European trucks and buses, above all Mercedes-Benz, and other engines that call for ACEA E8, on extended drain intervals.

Worth knowing

The name on this oil’s data sheet reads “E6/228.51”, and both codes have newer equivalents. DTFR 15C110 is the former MB 228.51, the Daimler Truck specification for a low-ash oil with an extended drain interval, and on newer cans ACEA E8 takes the place of ACEA E6. For DAF the data sheet gives only a general statement of compliance with DAF requirements, with the note “meets ACEA E6”, and no DAF number. As the article on truck and bus approvals says, DAF divides its requirements by interval and Euro engine group, so a code from the vehicle’s documentation has to be checked separately.

Everything R5 LM has, that is ACEA E6, E8 and DTFR 15C110, is also found in Rimula R6 LM 10W-40 of the same viscosity. It adds Volvo VDS-4.5, Renault Trucks RLD-3, Cummins CES 20086, API CK-4, Deutz DQC IV-18 LA and MTU Oil Category 3.1, and MAN M 3477 is listed for it as compliance. Shell HD5 Fleet 10W-40 in the catalogue matches this oil in both codes and typical figures.
