What viscosity is Rotella T6?
Shell Rotella® T6 full synthetic heavy duty engine oil resists viscosity loss through shear and will maintain optimal pressure in your heavy duty diesel engine. Learn more about Shell Rotella T6 Full Synthetic Oil: SAE 0W-40.
Is Rotella T4 a low ash oil?
formulation ever The exclusive low-ash formulation helps protect the exhaust catalysts and diesel particulate filters found on the latest low-emission vehicles. Shell ROTELLA® T4 Triple Protection® is suitable for virtually all modern low-emission heavy duty engines* and older, hard working diesel engines.
What oil is thicker than 15W40?
A 10W40 oil will be thicker in the cold than 15W40 oil, but they will have the same viscosities at higher temperatures. The winter viscosity number dictates cold-start performance. A lower number indicates that the cold oil will be thinner, hence applying less static friction on the engine, and less drag.
What is the difference between Rotella T5 and T6?
Shell ROTELLA® T6 can help improve the fuel efficiency of your vehicle. Shell ROTELLA® T5 is designed to provide fuel-economy savings, extended-drain capability, enhanced engine cleanliness, and excellent wear protection.
Why is Rotella T6 so good?
Shell Rotella T6 reduces ash, phosphorous, and sulfur levels to prevent blocked DPFs and increase overall efficiency. Compared to other 5W-40 formulas, Shell Rotella T6 shows 34% better wear performance. Additionally, the low viscosity synthetic base allows for an improved fuel economy durability and performance.
Is Shell Rotella low ash?
Low ash content, minimizing formation of deposits and helping to keep intake ports clean. Oxidation resistance to help maximize service life. Rust and corrosion protection for critical engine parts. Optimized dispersant content to help prevent engine sludge and varnish deposits.
What happens if you use the wrong viscosity oil?
The brand of motor oil matters little, but its viscosity grade (10W-30, for example) is important. Using the wrong oil can lead to reduced lubrication and shorter engine life. If the manual says to use synthetic oil, do so.
