  • Low ash content, minimizing formation of deposits and helping to keep intake ports clean
  • Oxidation resistance to help maximize service life
  • Rust and corrosion protection for critical engine parts
  • Optimized dispersant content to help prevent engine sludge and varnish deposits

Application

  • Shell Rotella® T1 oils are suitable for use in many turbo- and non-turbocharged light/medium-duty diesel-powered trucks and transport operations, including city operations and long-distance service.
