Shell Argina X is a multifunctional crankcase lubricant for highly rated medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel. Argina X is designed for conditions of high oil stress and has been further optimised to improve deposit control.
Applications Medium-speed industrial or marine propulsion and auxiliary engines, burning residual fuel oils, which create conditions of high oil stress. These conditions usually occur:
Marine engine reduction gears (SAE 40 only) and certain other ship-board applications, where specialist lubricants are not required.
Medium-speed engines burning residual fuel need very specialised lubricants. Heavy fuels contaminate the oil with asphaltenes, requiring special types of detergency to avoid sludges. The combustion of high sulphur fuels produces sulphur acids, which cause high wear rates of piston rings and cylinder liners unless neutralised by a high basicity reserve in the oil.
The oil is in service for very long periods, so centrifugal separators are used to remove water and combustion contaminants from the oil. Medium-speed engine oils must be specially designed to release these contaminants in the separator.
Performance Features
Specifications and Approvals Argina X enjoys a comprehensive range of Original Equipment Manufacturers’ approvals through field experience over many years and meets the engine test criteria forAPI CF.
Health & Safety Argina X oils are unlikely to present any significant health or safety hazard when properly used in the recommended application, and good standards of industrial and personal hygiene are maintained.
Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious gloves with used oil. After skin contact, wash immediately with soap and water.
For further guidance on Product Health & Safety refer to the appropriate Shell Product Safety Data Sheet.
Protect the environment Take used oil to an authorised collection point. Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.
