Applications
Shell Melina Oils are premium quality marine multi-purpose system oils designed, primarily, for low-speed, crosshead, marine diesel engines operating on residual fuels. They are alkaline oils giving the highest levels of protection in a wide variety of engine and shipboard applications.
For use in:
- Crankcase systems of low-speed, crosshead, marine diesel engines operating on residual fuels
- Main and auxiliary trunk piston diesel engines burning distillate fuels
- Turbochargers
- Geared transmissions
- Oil-lubricated stern-tubes
- Variable pitch propellers
- Deck machinery
- Other ancillary equipment requiring an SAE 20, 30 or 40 oil
