Specifications and Approvals
- Shell Argina T enjoys a comprehensive range of Original Equipment Manufacturers’ approvals through field experience over many years and meets the engine test criteria for API CF .
Applications
Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines, burning residual fuel oils, which create conditions of moderate oil stress. These conditions usually occur:
- in engine designs more than 5 years old, or
- where oil consumption is 1g/kWh or more, or
- in newer designs where load factors are predominantly 85% or less, or
- where fuels with sulphur <3% are in use
Marine engine reduction gears and certain other ship-board applications, where specialist lubricants are not required.
