Shell Rimula news:
The next generation of Shell Rimula is here
The new requirements for trucks are all focused on less emissions and better fuel economy. New specifications have been arriving on the market for the last few years and more are coming. The Shell Rimula family has been extended with a new range of products called Shell Rimula R7 which are focused on the new requirements from truck OEMs. All of these products carry various OEM approvals as well as the new API FA-4 specification for enhanced fuel economy.
Please note that API FA-4 approved products are all very low viscosity products and it is not recommended to mix these with “normal” engine oils as compatibility is very limited.

Shell Rimula R7 AX 5W-30 is a fully synthetic API FA-4 engine oil specifically developed to meet the most stringent demands from OEMs like Volvo, Mercedes Benz and Renault trucks. This product is designed to provide cost savings in the form of better fuel economy as well as significant savings in
