design provides Shell ROTELLA T5 Ultra with the
capability to improve cold starting and reduce fuel
consumption, to help deliver savings, without compromising
engine protection or durability. The lower viscosity also
means increased fuel economy can be realized compared
to a CK-4 SAE 15W-40 heavy duty engine oil.
