Low Speed Engines

Shell`s range of oils delivers top performance, long term reliability, maximum cleanliness and minimum wear. Backed by decades of success and ongoing product development, Shell's family of engine oils takes engine power generation to new heights of cost effectiveness and reliability.

Marine engine oils are usually adapted to the type of engine, depending on the speed and the type of fuel (namely the sulphur content of the fuel distillate).

Shell Alexia Oil 50: This is a premium grade cylinder lubricant for use in all types of low-speed crosshead diesel engines burning residual fuels with sulphur contents of up to 3.5% weight. It is ideally suited for the new generation of highly rated, fuel efficient, slow-speed marine diesel engines operating with higher pressures, higher temperatures and longer strokes. Shell Alexia Oil 50 is a blend of highly refined, high viscosity index base oils, and additives that incorporate unique alkyl salicylate technology developed by Shell Research.

Shell Argina T Oils: They are combined cylinders and crankcase lubricants for highly rated, medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel in industrial and marine applications. The oils consist of premium quality, highly refined mineral base oils into which is incorporated advanced additive technology developed by Shell to meet ever increasing demands of modern medium-speed diesel engines.

Shell Gadinia Oils: They are premium quality diesel engine lubricants, based on highly refined mineral oils and carefully selected additives. They are specially designed for main propulsion and auxiliary marine trunk piston engines burning distillate fuel.

Shell Melina Oils: They are premium quality marine multipurpose system oils designed, primarily, for low-speed, crosshead, marine diesel engines operating on residual fuels. They are alkaline oils giving the highest levels of protection in a wide variety of engine and shipboard applications.
