To say Shell ROTELLA ® went the extra mile developing its next generation of heavy duty diesel engine oils would be an understatement. Then again, to create its most technologically advanced heavy duty engine oils, Shell ROTELLA ® knows it takes hard work, and then some. That's why it wasn't enough to just test new Shell ROTELLA ® CK-4 ready oils in a lab. Shell ROTELLA ® was also tested in the real world, in 400 trucks, construction and farm equipment, with diverse duty cycles. Together, Shell ROTELLA ® accumulated over 30 million miles of testing, more than ever before. By the way, 30 million miles is 1,200 times around the earth. But even more impressive were the results. Inspections of 16 engine teardowns from major engine manufacturers showed a notable lack of wear and deposits in virtually every engine. And in some cases, tests showed Shell ROTELLA ® Heavy Duty Engine Oils achieved signifi cant gains in fuel economy. The teardown results proved so remarkable that Shell ROTELLA ® invited outside media to witness additional teardowns for themselves. So why did Shell ROTELLA ® invest millions of dollars, over 4 years, and tens of thousands of man hours developing its next generation of heavy duty diesel engine oils? Because the goal was never to just meet new CK-4 standards. From the beginning the goal was to create products that set the standards in the industry. And that's why, although the technology behind Shell ROTELLA ® will always evolve, the hard work that drives it will always stay the same. The Engine Oil That Works As Hard As You ™ .
