Shell Caprinus XR 40 / D209L

• DESCRIPTION

  • Shell Caprinus XR oils are premium grade, heavy-duty engine oils intended mainly for railroad diesel engines of North American origin, particularly those manufactured by General Electric and General Motors Electro-Motive Division. Shell Caprinus XR oils use the latest, low-chlorine additive technology which offers both environmental benefits and improved performance. Shell Caprinus XR oils do not contain zinc and are approved for use by GM-EMD for their engines fitted with silver piston-pin bearings and by GE for their latest locomotives. The performance of Shell Caprinus XR has been demonstrated in highly rated North American railroad operation subject to the most severe operating conditions.

    EXCELLENT DETERGENCY AND DISPERSANCY PROPERTIES
    A carefully balanced combination of detergency and dispersancy ensures outstanding engine cleanliness.

    Good protection against corrosion by the acidic products of combustions.

    GOOD ANTI-WEAR PROPERTIES
    Maintains a protective oil film between pistons and their rings and cylinder walls, even under high operating temperatures and pressures. Use of low-chlorine anti-wear additives ensure protection of valve trains and other parts.
