## Description

Shell Rimula R4 15W-40 API CI4 Plus Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oil (5L)

Review: An excellent oil for the price. It's mineral diesel engine oil with heavy dose of additives which rates it @CI+. Happy with the instant smoothness and clatter reduction it offered in a relatively new 3.0L engine Safari. For the price it behaves almost like an expensive synthetic - would have to see how long the effect lasts.
Review: Good for 10k KM's for any modern common rail diesel engine. Perhaps the only API CI4 plus grade oil in this price range and it works wonders in my Verna D. No gruff feeling after crossing 5k-6k KM's that we notice normally with other oils. Would recommend this for sure.

Used on my Safari (earlier version), the product is good, slight improvement observed in engine noise & performance. Long drives also there is no engine over heating. Over all good one.
