Q 3. What is an API/ACEA classification?

A. API and ACEA are the universal lubricant performance standards every reputable oil meets. They are your baseline check — match the code your handbook specifies (e.g., API CI-4 or ACEA E7 for heavy-duty diesel) and the oil is technically suitable for your machine. Every oil on our site lists its API and ACEA classifications.

Q 4. What performance classification does Shell Rimula R6 LME 5W-30 meet?

A. Shell Rimula R6 LME 5W-30 meets ACEA E6.

Q 5. What is an OEM Specification?

A. An OEM Specification is the lubricant requirement set by a vehicle or equipment manufacturer (e.g., MB 228.3, VW 504.00). When an oil lists the code, the oil manufacturer has developed and tested it to meet the criteria the equipment manufacturer requires. Match the code in your handbook and you have a lubricant engineered for your machine.

Q 6. What is an OEM Approval?

A. An OEM Approval means the oil has been formally tested and signed off by the equipment manufacturer and listed on their official approved-products register (e.g., MB-Approval 228.3). An Approval confirms the oil is recognised by the equipment manufacturer for service use in their machines.

Q 7. What OEM manufacturer approvals does Shell Rimula R6 LME 5W-30 carry?

Q 11. What is the difference between Shell Rimula R6 LME 5W-30 and Rimula R4 L 15W-40?

A. Both are Shell Low-SAPS heavy-duty engine oils. Rimula R6 LME 5W-30 is the fully synthetic ACEA E6 top-tier product with MB 228.51 and MAN M3477 — for premium fleet operations needing fuel economy and extended drains.
