Shell ROTELLA T single Grade Oils have been performance proven in diesel and mixed diesel/gasoline on-highway truck fleets for over 3 billion miles. These engine oils satisfy a wide range of heavy duty diesel manufacturers' specifications of Detroit Diesel to the high detergency requirements of Caterpillar.
Shell ROTELLA T Single Grade Oils surpass the performance requirements of MIL-L-2104F. The SAE 10W, 20W-20 and 30 grades meet API Service Classifications CF-4/SH, CE, CD and SG. The SAE 30 grade also meets API Service Classification CF-2 and CD-II. The SAE 40 and 50 grades meet API Service Classifications CF, CF-2, (CD, CD-II - obsolete), SH and SG.
These oils also meet the powershift transmission requirements of Caterpillar TO-2, and both SAE 10W and 30 grades are Allison C-4 approved.
Shell ROTELLA T Single Grade Oils:
Shell ROTELLA T Multigrade SAE 15W-40 has been Shell's premium quality, heavy duty multigrade oil for all-season use by fleets with diesel power or a mix of gasoline and diesel power for the past 25 years. During that time, it has become the best selling multigrade heavy duty truck oil in the U.S. Now this product is available with XLA (Extended Life Additive) to provide improved deposit control and improved oxidation stability.
This same premium multigrade oil is available in SAE 10W-30 grade to provide even better low temperature performance, and to satisfy the demands of engine builders who recommend lower viscosity oils.
Both viscosity grades of ROTELLA T Multigrade Oil with XLA surpass the performance requirements of API CG-4, CF-4, CF, CE, CD (obsolete),, CC (obsolete), SH, and SG service classifications. They are both Mack EO-L approved and of MIL-L-46152E (obsolete) quality. The 15W-40 grade meets the requirements of the API CF 2 and CD II Service Classifications and MIL-L-2104F.
Shell ROTELLA T Multigrade Oils with XLA:
For gasoline engine applications, the 15W-40 grade is an API Energy Conserving oil and the 10W-30 grade meets the API Energy Conserving II requirements. The 10W-30 grade also meets the new ILSAC GF-1 performance standard. Both oils meet the performance requirements of Allison C-4.
