Up to 97% less lead Corrosion

Shell Rimula R4 MV has demonstrated excellent corrosion control in the Cummins high-temperature corrosion bench test. The test is run at 135ºC for 168 hours and has been shown to correlate with corrosion-induced cam and bearing failures in the field. In the test, Shell Rimula R4 MV displayed up to 97% less lead corrosion than the API CK-4 limit.
