Where it is used
This group covers main engines on vessels, auxiliary diesel generators and stationary diesel engines on shore. On cylinder oils the base number is matched to fuel sulphur content, which sets the balance between deposit control and ring wear.
On medium and high speed engines the dispersancy of the additive package, soot handling and piston cleanliness come first. Where an extended drain interval is the goal, BN depletion and soot loading should be tracked through regular oil analysis.
Viscosity and technical classification
Shell Alexia 40 is supplied in SAE 40. The grade is selected from the load, speed and operating temperature profile of the equipment, and should stay inside the window stated by the builder.
Supply, packaging and delivery

Storage and handling

- Ask for technical advice before mixing with another brand or a different additive package.
- Dedicate transfer pumps and hoses per product group to avoid cross-contamination.
- Replace bung seals on opened packages to limit moisture pick-up.
- On critical equipment, base drain intervals on used-oil analysis rather than calendar time.
