It meets or exceeds the warranty and service requirements of virtually all diesel and many gasoline engine manufacturers—for both newer and older engines. It is recommended especially for on-highway service applications and is also recommended for off-highway applications, especially where all-season use is desired. 

Over the past 30 years, Shell ROTELLA® T has retained its position as one of the best-selling heavyduty multigrade oils in the U.S. The tightening of federal emission requirements has resulted in engine designs that require enhanced oil performance. 

Meets The Specs
Shell ROTELLA® T SAE 15W- 40 is a leader in meeting leading OEM specifications, as well as the enhanced oil performance requirements for API CI - 4 PLUS, Caterpillar ECF-1, Mercedes- Benz 228.3, Cummins CES 20078, Detroit Diesel 93K214, Mack EO-N Premium Plus 03, Mercedes-Benz 228.3, and Volvo VDS-3, and meets the warranty requirement of all major diesel engine manufacturers. 

Also formulated with Advanced Soot Control chemistry, Shell ROTELLA® T SAE 15W-40 delivers exceptional heavy-duty and soot control protection, plus outstanding cold-weather performance. 

Note: Shell ROTELLA® T SAE 40 single grade oil is the preferred choice for most Detroit Diesel 2-stroke cycle engines. 

Advanced Soot Control
Because of stricter emission requirements and changes in engine design, more soot goes into the oil in today’s high-technology diesel engines. Shell ROTELLA® T Multigrade with Advanced Soot Control provides outstanding protection against engine wear deposits and viscosity thickening due to soot.
