Offering protection for critical diesel-engine parts, Shell Rotella T1 40 engine oil fights engine wear and protects against oxidation and corrosion. The oil contains a low-ash formula, which reduces the formation of deposits, keeps intake ports clean and controls exhaust emissions. Suitable for heavy-duty diesel engines, the oil's applications include diesel trucks, transportation operation vehicles and agricultural equipment. It can also be used with certain mobile hydraulic systems and transmissions.

Reliable performance Provide reliable all-year-round performance in the applications for which they are intended. Proven durability Shell Rotella T1 provides excellent wear protection that promotes engine durability. It has a low ash content which minimizes the formation of deposits and keeps intake ports clean. It offers excellent rust and corrosion protection for critical engine parts.

Main Applications

  • Heavy duty diesel engines

  • This oil is formulated for heavy-duty diesel engines, including older on- and off-road diesel vehicles, some stationary engines, and heavy equipment used in construction, mining, and quarry operations. It is also specifically suitable for Detroit Diesel two-cycle engines in the Series 53, 71, and 92 families.

  • This oil is best suited for older on- and off-road diesel vehicles, some stationary engines, and heavy equipment in demanding work environments such as construction, mining, and quarrying. For modern diesel engines equipped with advanced after-treatment or emissions control systems, a different oil formulation may be more appropriate.

  • SAE 40 is a single (mono) grade viscosity, meaning it does not have the cold-weather flow properties of a multi-grade oil. It is designed to deliver reliable all-year-round performance in the specific diesel engine and equipment applications for which it is intended, so you should confirm your equipment's viscosity requirements before use.

  • A low-ash formula generates minimal metallic ash residue during combustion, which reduces the buildup of deposits inside the engine, helps keep intake ports clean, and aids in controlling exhaust emissions — all of which contribute to longer engine life and more consistent performance over time.

  • Yes, this oil can be used in certain transmission and mobile hydraulic systems where the equipment manufacturer specifically recommends the use of mono-grade engine oils. Always verify your equipment manufacturer's recommendation before using it in these applications.
