Applications
Shell Melina S is a high performance multifunctional low speed diesel engine lubricant based on a blend of highly refined high viscosity index mineral oils and a balanced selection of additives. It is designed to provide the highest levels of machinery protection in highly rated low speed marine engines, but being multifunctional, can also be used in many different items of marine equipment and used to rationalise the number of grades of lubricant carried on board ship.
For use in:
- Low speed marine diesel engine crankcase and piston cooling systems
- Turbochargers, geared transmissions, oil lubricated stern tubes & deck machinery
- All ancillary equipment requiring an SAE 30 oil
