Strong Performance in Both Diesel and Gasoline Engines.

Shell Rotella® MV 5W-30 full synthetic heavy duty engine oil is formulated to perform well in gasoline engines, without sacrificing protection in diesels. Blended with lower levels of phosphorous compared to most diesel engine oils, Shell Rotella® MV 5W-30 is able to meet both API CK-4 and SN performance standards.

With its wide range of specifications and approvals from many of the world's leading engine makers, it is ideal for on or off-road applications. SAE 5W-30 oils are suitable in Volvo, Mack, Mercedes-Benz, Detroit Diesel and PACCAR heavy duty engines, and medium duty diesel manufacturers such as Ford and Dodge with Cummins engines. Most gasoline truck and car manufacturers also allow for a 5W-30 oil meeting API SN performance standards.

Exceptional Fuel Economy

Through the use of Shell’s advanced technology, Shell Rotella® MV 5W-30 full synthetic heavy duty engine oil with Triple Protection Plus™ offers a fuel economy benefit of up to 2.8% in heavy duty diesel engines compared to 15W-40 oils. This can save drivers thousands per year in fuel consumption, without compromising engine protection or durability.

Extreme Temperature Performance

Shell Rotella® MV 5W-30 heavy duty engine oil resists breakdown by heat to provide continuous protection throughout the service interval. Additionally, it exhibits excellent cold temperature flow for easier start-ups in extreme cold temperatures.

Oil Breakdown Resistance for Long Oil Life

Shell Rotella® MV 5W-30 heavy duty engine oil’s strong oxidation protection helps to minimize the formation of acids and oil thickening. The result is a longer, cleaner engine life.
