Shell Lubricants has introduced the Shell Rotella T3 Energized Protection oil for use in engines fueled by compressed natural gas and liquefied natural gas.
Shell Rotella T3 NG oil uses a customized combination of high performance additives to adapt and protect under the range of pressures and temperatures found in CNG/LNG fueled engines.

Shell Rotella T3 NG SAE 15W-40 oil is suitable for applications such as buses and trucks fitted with engines designed to run on 100 percent CNG or LNG, particularly those preferring relatively low-ash formulations. Shell Rotella T3 NG is suitable for use in Cummins, Detroit Diesel, Mahindra and Hyundai CNG/LNG engines.

According to the company, the new engine oil provides a balance of detergents and dispersants that promotes good piston and engine cleanliness. With reduced levels of "ash" containing additives, which control deposit formation in the combustion chamber, the oil protects the ignition system. The oil also provides wear protection of liners, rings, bearings and valve train components for long engine life.

Shell Rotella T3 Energized Protection is meant to provide protection against corrosion from acids formed as fuel burns, protection against deposits, and protection against wear by keeping moving metal engine surface apart.

Shell Rotella T3 NG is currently available in drums, totes and bulk.
