Shell Rimula R4 Energised Protection oil uses exclusive combinations of the latest high performance additives to ensure that the oil adapts
and protects under the full range of pressures and temperatures found in modern engines - from the high temperatures in the pistons, to the
extreme loads found in the valve-trains. Featuring extra-active additives to control and sweep away harmful soot and particles found in high
performance engines, it delivers excellent soot and viscosity control, outstanding protection against wear and exceptional versatility - one
oil for fleets with multiple engine makes.
