Product Description Product Description Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 Diesel Engine Oil is a full synthetic motor oil that features exclusive Triple Protection Plus technology, formulated with fully synthetic base oils plus advanced additives to protect against wear, deposits and oil breakdown PLUS better low temperature flow and increased fuel economy performance, without compromising durability, compared to conventional SAE 15W-40 oils. Shell Rotella T6 5W-40 engine oil provides: Better Fuel Economy This full synthetic heavy-duty engine oil offers enhanced fuel economy capability of 1.5% that can save money in fuel consumption, without compromising engine protection or durability. Improved Wear Performance Full synthetic CK-4 heavy duty engine oil provides a significantly increased level of protection against harmful engine wear when compared to previous generation API CJ-4 engine oils. Improved Deposit Control The advanced multi-functional dispersant additives in combination with synthetic base oils provide an enhanced level of protection against the effects of soot, dirt and other contaminants. Improved Heat Resistance Full synthetic heavy-duty engine oil resists breakdown by heat to provide continuous protection throughout the service interval. Emissions System Compatibility Advanced low-ash formulation helps control blocking of or poisoning of exhaust after-treatment devices, helping maintain vehicle emission compliance and engine fuel efficiency. Outstanding Shear Stability Shell Rotella T6 synthetic oil resists viscosity loss through shear and will maintain optimal pressure in the engine.

Types of motor oil include conventional, synthetic, diesel, bio-based, hybrid (blends of conventional and synthetic), and recycled oils. Motor oil varies in weight and viscosity, as well as additives that some manufacturers add to the oil during the refining process. A numerical code system created by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) grades motor oils according to viscosity--the higher the number between 0 and 60, the more viscous (thicker) the oil is. Most consumer motor oils are graded by two numbers, with the first number indicating cold weather (Winter or "W") performance. SAE 5W-40 This oil has a weight of SAE 5W-40, meaning it has an SAE viscosity rating of 5 in cold temperatures and a rating of 40 at normal operating temperature. Always check your vehicle's owner's manual to verify that this is the correct weight of motor oil for your vehicle. Conventional Motor Oil This oil is a conventional motor oil, meaning it is refined from crude oil or petroleum products. Conventional motor oils may or may not have additives included after refining. Conventional motor oils are more versatile than synthetic or hybrid motor oils, because they are suitable for use with nearly all types of modern vehicle engines, from cars and trucks to motorcycles, ATVs, farm equipment, and more.
