material employed in CAT equipment; and is also compatible with
Shell Spirax S4 CX and oils meeting CAT TO-4. Shell Spirax S5
CFD M 60 should not be used in transmissions also containing
friction materials (e.g. those with wet brakes or clutch materials).

APPLICATIONS
n Shell Spirax S5 CFD M 60 is recommended for use in all
Caterpillar Final Drive Axle Oil that currently specify the use of
CAT FD-1 fluids. It can also be used in transmissions requiring
TO-4 fluids that do not contain friction material. It is not
recommended for final drives which contain brakes. It should also
not be used in engines, transmissions or hydraulic systems.

SHELL TURBO OIL CC
PREMIUM QUALITY INDUSTRIAL GAS, STEAM AND COMBINED CYCLE TURBINE OIL

DESIGNED TO MEET CHALLENGES

Shell Turbo Oil CC has been developed to meet the severe demands imposed by modern, heavy-duty

INDUSTRY TURBINE OILS


turbine applications, exceeding a number of major gas and steam manufacturers lubricant specifications.
A patented, metal free additive technology, ensures that this product offers substantially improved
performance over conventional turbine oils. Its unique combination of excellent oxidative stability, sludge
control and surface properties make Turbo CC the first choice lubricant for emerging combined cycle
turbine technology, as well as existing gas and steam turbine plants.

CYLINDER LUBRICANT FOR TWO-STROKE LOW SPEED DIESEL ENGINES

DESIGNED TO MEET CHALLENGES

Shell Alexia S4 is a wide range cylinder lubricant designed for use in all two-stroke low speed diesel
MARINE

engines. Shell Alexia S4 is suitable for use with engines burning distillate and residual fuel and has been
engineered to offer excellent performance under all operational conditions such as full power, slow
and flexible steaming regimes. Shell Alexia S4 has been especially formulated to deal with all aspects
of Oil Stress. Shell Alexia S4 has been particularly designed for the new generation of highly rated,
fuel efficient, low speed marine diesel engines operating with higher pressures, higher temperatures and
longer strokes.

viscosity at 40 C. It consists of a series of 18 viscosity brackets
between 1.98 mm2/s and 1650 mm2/s, each of which is defined
by a number. The numbers indicate to the nearest whole number,
the mid-points of their corresponding brackets. For example, ISO
viscosity grade 32 relates to the viscosity bracket 28.8 mm2/s to
35.2 mm2/s, the mid point of which is 32.0 mm2/s. This is illustrated
in the table below, which shows the ISO viscosity grade numbers,
the mid-points of each bracket, and the viscosity limits.

CJ-4 Current Introduced in 2006. For high-speed, four-stroke engines designed to meet 2007 model year on-highway
exhaust emission standards. CJ-4 oils are compounded for use in all applications with diesel fuels ranging
in sulfur content up to 500ppm (0.05% by weight). However, use of these oils with greater than 15ppm
(0.0015% by weight) sulfur fuel may impact exhaust aftertreatment system durability and/or oil drain
interval. CJ-4 oils are effective at sustaining emission control system durability where particulate filters and
other advanced aftertreatment systems are used. Optimum protection is provided for control of catalyst
poisoning, particulate filter blocking, engine wear, piston deposits, low and high-temperature stability, soot
handling properties, oxidative thickening, foaming, and viscosity loss due to shear. API CJ-4 oils exceed the
performance criteria of API CI-4 with CI-4 PLUS, CI-4, CH-4, CG-4 and CF-4 and can effectively lubricate
engines calling for those API Service Categories. When using CJ-4 oil with higher than 15ppm sulfur fuel,
consult the engine manufacturer for service interval.
CI-4 Current Introduced in 2002. For high-speed, four-stoke engines designed to meet 2004 exhaust emission
standards implemented in 2002. CI-4 oils are formulated to sustain engine durability where exhaust
gas recirculation (EGR) is used and are intended for use with diesel fuels ranging in sulphur content up
to 0.5% weight. Can be used in place of CD, CE, CF-4, CG-4 and CH-4 oils. Some CI-4 oils may also
qualify for the CI-4 PLUS designation.
CH-4 Current Introduced in 1998. For high-speed, four-stroke engines designed to meet 1998 exhaust emission
standards. CH-4 oils are specifically compounded for use with diesel fuels ranging in sulphur context up
to 0.5% weight. Can be used in place of CD, CE, CF-4 and CG-4 oils.
CG-4 Current Introduced in 1995. For severe duty, high-speed, four-stroke engines using fuel with less than 0.5%
weight sulphur. CG-4 oils are required for engines meeting 1994 emission standards. Can be used in
place of CD, CE and CF-4 oils.
CF-4 Obsolete Introduced in 1990. For high-speed, four-stroke, naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines. Can be
used in place of CD and CE oils.
CF-2 Current Introduced in 1994. For severe duty, two-stroke-cycle engines. Can be used in place of CD-II oils.
CF Current Introduced in 1994. For off-road, indirect-injected and other diesel engines including those using fuel
with over 0.5% weight sulphur. Can be used in place of CD oils.
CE Obsolete Introduced in 1985. For high-speed, four-stroke, naturally aspirated and turbocharged engines.
