Shell Argina S3 40 / IBC-L OTC

• DESCRIPTION

  • Shell Argina S3 40 is a multifunctional crankcase lubricant for highly rated medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual, blended or distillate fuels. Shell Argina S3 40 has a BN of 30 and is designed for conditions of moderate oil stress.

    EXTENDED OIL LIFE
    Shell Argina S3 40 is a BN 30 oil which has been optimised to resist oxidation and maintain BN in order to reduce the amount of oil sweetening that is required.

    ENGINE PROTECTION
    Shell Argina S3 40 has an optimised level of detergency leading to exceptionally clean crankcase, valve deck and pistons. The formulation has been further optimised to reduce deposits in critical areas.

    SYSTEM EFFICIENCY
    Shell Argina S3 40 has a high detergency/low dispersancy formulation in order to effectively release contaminants and water in centrifugal separators. Shell Argina S3 30 can be used to top up engines already running on any other member of the Argina family, giving immediate control of BN without the need for an oil change.

• MAIN APPLICATIONS

  • Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxillary engines, burning residual fuel oils, which create conditions of moderate oil stress. These conditions usually occur:

    • In newer engines designs, less than 10 years old
    • Where oil consumption is >1 g/kWh
    • Where load factors are <85%
    • Where fuels with sulphur <3% are in use

    Shell Argina S3 40 can also be used in marine engine reduction gears and certain other ship-board applications, where specialist lubricants are not required.

• SPECIFICATIONS

  • Shell Argina S3 40 is approved by Wartsila and MAN.

• PACK SIZES
  • • 209L drum.
    • 1000L IBC.
