Transcription of Technical Data Sheet Shell Caprinus XR 40
1 Technical data SheetShell Caprinus XR 40 Railroad Diesel engine OilShell Caprinus XR oils are premium grade, heavy-duty, engine oils , intended mainly for railroad diesel engines ofNorth American origin, particularly those manufactured by General Electric and General Motors Electro-MotiveDivision (EMD). Shell Caprinus XR oils use the latest, low-chlorine additive technology which offers both environmental benefitsand improved performance. Shell Caprinus XR oils do not contain zinc and are approved for use by GM-EMD fortheir engines fitted with silver piston-pin bearings and by GE for their latest performance of Shell Caprinus XR has been demonstrated in highly rated North American railroad operationsubject to the most severe operating , Features & BenefitsExcellent detergency and dispersancy properties A carefully balanced combination of detergency anddispersancy ensures outstanding engine oxidation and thermal stability Good protection against corrosion by the acidic products anti-wear properties Maintains a protective oil film between pistons and theirrings and cylinder walls, even under high operatingtemperatures and pressures.
2 Use of low-chlorine antiwearadditives ensures protection of valve trains and other viscosity index base oils Provides a higher level of protection than lubricants basedon naphthenic mineral ApplicationsNorth American diesel engines subjected to the mostarduous duty where 'zinc-free' oils are recommended bythe engine manufacturer. Applications are primarily forrailroad locomotives, however Caprinus HPD may also besuitable for certain engines in power generation, marineand mine-haul applications. Shell Caprinus XR oils are low chlorine formulationsmeeting the requirements of leading railroad operators inNorth America.
