Specifications and Approvals

Shell Argina S 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

Shell Argina S is a multifunctional crankcase lubricant for certain medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual, blended or distillate fuels.

For use in:

Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines, burning residualor blended fuel oils, which create conditions of low oil stress. These conditions usually occur:

  • in engine designs more than 5 years old,
  • where oil consumption is 1.5g/kWh or more,
  • where load factors are below 70%, or
  • where fuels with sulphur <2% are in use
    • some medium and high speed engines burning distillate fuel, where a high BN, high ash lubricant is suitable
      Marine engine reduction gears and certain other ship-board applications, where specialist lubricants are not required.

      Argina S is not recommended for engines where an API CF-4, CG-4, CH-4 or CI-4 oil is required.
