Let us have a look at the formulation of Dynamic Protection Plus Technology. Dynamic Protection Plus Technology Helps deliver engine protection with reduced viscosity engine oils. By utilising reduced viscosity oils, less energy is required to pump the oil around the engine, resulting in increased fuel efficiency and reduced maintenance costs. Adaptive Additive Technology, on the other hand, adapts physically and chemically when required to provide protection. This is how Dynamic Protection Plus technology works.

Anti-wear chemistry provides extra protection against friction in high-stress areas, extending your engine's lifespan. During the combustion process, acids are produced, which can end up in the engine oil. During the combustion process, acids are produced, which can end up in the engine oil.

Performance additives neutralise these acids and prevent them from reaching vital engine parts. By preventing metal corrosion, unplanned downtime can be minimised. Additives target carbon particles to prevent sludge formation, which helps extend oil drain intervals.

Detergent molecules help prevent build-up of deposits around the piston crown, resulting in a cleaner, more efficient engine and reducing maintenance costs. Dynamic Protection Plus Technology was designed to provide long oil and engine life, extended oil drain intervals, reduced fuel and maintenance costs, all weather protection, resulting in lower total cost of ownership.

Benefits

Increased fuel savings

illustration fuel icon

Increased fuel savings 

Low viscosity could help to improve fuel consumption and the overall maintenance costs to your business.3 Utilising low viscosity oils means reduced fuel consumption because it reduces the energy lost in day to day applications.

Better protection

illustration better protection icon

Better protection against engine wear

Less engine wear and increased durability is vital to avoid any unplanned downtime so you can get the most out of your engine and extend its life span. The anti-wear booster developed by Shell scientists provides better protection against friction in highly stressed areas of the engine.2

Longer oil drain intervals

illustration oil drain number icon

Longer oil drain intervals

The formulation for Shell Rimula R6 LME delivers outstanding durability for extended oil drain intervals.4 Longer oil drain intervals could mean less vehicle downtime for you, keeping you and your equipment on the road for longer.

Cleaner pistons

illustration piston icon

Cleaner pistons

Cleaner pistons12 mean a smoother, more efficient engine. Shell Rimula R6 LME include advanced additives which give protection against deposits for extended oil-drain intervals4 and potentially delivering  maintenance savings for you.3 

Equipment compatibility

Emissions equipment compatibility

Efficiently running your engine means effectively managing the wellbeing of your business. After treatment devices such as Diesel Particulate Filters trap potentially harmful soot and ash combustion by-products before they can be released to the environment. Blocked filters increase fuel consumption, so the low-ash additive system in is designed to actively reduce filter blocking.5

Low Temperature Protection

Low Temperature Protection

Shell Rimula R6 M’s unique Dynamic Protection Plus formulation ensures that the oil keeps flowing, even with high levels of contaminants. Shell Rimula R6 M is 80% better12 at minimising filter plugging with pressure drops across the filter.

Which products have Dynamic Protection Plus Technology?

The Shell Rimula R5 and R6 range use Dynamic Protection Plus Technology1, which could provide real fuel savings3 that can help lower your operation cost and provide protections that can help to reduce maintenance costs.
