Delivering Reliability

Shell Argina oils are designed to manage differing effects of oil stress to reduce downtime, keep your engine cleaner and give longer oil and component life, thereby improving engine reliability. This delivers greater vessel reliability and helps to maximise commercial performance.

* Greater power to clean and protect. Clean engines are efficient engines. With their increased resistance to fuel oil contamination and physical thickening, Shell Argina oils form fewer deposits as a result of the thermal and asphaltene stresses in heavy-fuel engines.
* Better general engine cleanliness. Fewer crankcase and valve-deck deposits help to prolong filter life and reduce cleaning maintenance. A clean crankcase also indicates that the less visible engine parts are in good condition. Field trials have demonstrated the improved general engine cleanliness with Shell Argina oils, thanks to its increased resistance to oil stress, which results in fewer deposits.
