For railroad and marine engines, Shell Caprinus XR SAE 20W-40 Railroad and Marine Engine Oil provides high performance and impressive cleanliness for 2-cycle and 4-cycle diesel engines. This is exceptional multigrade engine oil formulated with chlorine-free and zinc-free additives. In addition to the 55 gallon drum, it's also available in bulk. Recommended applications include Fairbanks-Morse, EMD, ALCO, General Electric and other similar types of diesel engines that are used either as main or auxiliary engines in switching locomotives or marine usage. It's also available in XR SAE 40 viscosity grade.

Shell Caprinus XR are premium quality, zinc-free, and chlorine-free railroad and marine engine oils with an established history of providing outstanding engine cleanliness. Caprinus XR oils are available in SAE 40 and SAE 20W-40 viscosity grades.

55 Gallon Drum - Also avaible in BULK.

Formulated with a unique Shell additive system that is both zinc free and chlorine free Provide excellent engine cleanliness, especially engine top decks Provide superior in service retention of Total Base Number (TBN). (Note: EMD and General Electric, as well as the LMOA, recognize that new oil TBN is not an indicator of an oil's performance and do not include TBN in their oil specifications) Provide extended oil drain interval capability Multigrade Caprinus XR 20W-40 contains a shear-stable viscosity index improver additive that provides reduced oil consumption and better fuel economy, allows for longer oil drain intervals through control of used oil viscosity increase in severe applications & provides better lubrication and oil flow at low temperatures and during engine warm-up

Frequently asked questions

Find answers to common questions about our products and services

  • This oil is formulated for medium-speed two-cycle and four-cycle diesel engines used in railroad and marine applications — specifically EMD, Fairbanks-Morse, General Electric, and ALCO engines operating as main or auxiliary engines in marine service or as switching locomotives. It is also suitable for stationary diesel engines requiring similar performance levels.

  • The unique additive system free of zinc and chlorine is engineered to deliver exceptional engine cleanliness, with particular attention to engine top decks. This formulation also provides superior in-service retention of Total Base Number (TBN), helping maintain oil performance over the drain interval.

  • The 20W-40 multigrade contains a shear-stable viscosity index improver that provides better lubrication and oil flow at low temperatures and during engine warm-up — advantages that a straight SAE 40 grade does not offer. It also supports reduced oil consumption, better fuel economy, and helps control used oil viscosity increase in severe applications for longer drain intervals. If your engine specification calls for a straight grade, the SAE 40 version is also available.

  • Yes, this oil is formulated with extended oil drain interval capability. The shear-stable viscosity index improver specifically helps control used oil viscosity increase in severe applications, which contributes to longer drain intervals compared to conventional oils.

  • TBN (Total Base Number) measures an oil's reserve alkalinity, which helps neutralize acidic combustion byproducts over time. This oil provides superior in-service TBN retention, meaning its protective reserve stays more consistent across the drain interval. It is worth noting that EMD, General Electric, and LMOA recognize that new oil TBN alone is not an indicator of overall oil performance and do not include it in their oil specifications.

  • Yes, in addition to the 55-gallon drum, this oil is also available in bulk quantities.
