Houston, TX… Shell Lubricants has introduced Shell Rotella® T6 0W-40, a full synthetic heavy duty diesel engine oil which is designed for extreme cold conditions.  Shell Rotella® T6 0W-40 uses free flowing synthetic base oils that allow reliable pumping on start-up under extreme cold climate conditions, yet remains thick enough under high temperature operation to protect against engine wear.

“Shell Rotella® T6 0W-40 will provide drivers operating in extreme cold conditions with the assurance that they can count on their engine oil to provide what they need when they start a cold engine and to work efficiently in all operating conditions,” said Chris Guerrero, global brand manager, Shell Rotella.  “This new synthetic oil expands the portfolio of products Shell Rotella can provide to hard working truckers.”

Shell Rotella® T6 0W-40 meets the following specification: API CJ-4, API SN, Volvo VDS-3, Mack EO-N and Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2, ECF-1A.

 All Shell Rotella® T6 Full Synthetic oils features an advanced multi-functional, low-ash additive technology in a synthetic base oil designed to provide highly responsive protection that continuously adapts to driving conditions. Use of selected low-viscosity synthetic base oils further energizes the oil’s protective capability that promotes fuel-economy performance with no compromise in durability. 

The Shell Rotella® brand is committed to making sure that hard working individuals can count on Shell Rotella® engine oils to help keep their trucks and equipment operating properly. The Shell Rotella® Energized Protection product portfolio is led by three premium heavy duty engine oils that are part of a tiered, easy to understand ladder of protection.  They include Shell Rotella® T6 Full Synthetic, Shell Rotella® T5 Synthetic Blend Technology and Shell Rotella® T Triple Protection® engine oils.

 All Shell Rotella® heavy duty oils provide protection in three critical areas by helping to control acids, deposits and wear. The adaptive technology in Shell Rotella® allows the oil to protect across all driving conditions, physically or chemically reacting to the ever-changing needs of an engine, ensuring that Shell Rotella® customers will continue to enjoy the benefits of the engine oil that works as hard as they do.
