Shell Argina Lubricants

What is Shell Argina?

The Shell Argina oil portfolio is designed to withstand higher oil stress and meet the technical and operational needs demanded by new engine designs.

These multifunctional crankcase lubricants last longer and offer enhanced cleanliness, leading to reduced operating costs, better engine protection, and greater operational efficiency.

Shell Argina engine oils are preferable for three distinct applications:

  • Marine propulsion engines for small to mid-size vessels
  • Marine auxiliary engines
  • Stationary power generation

A collection of lubricants designed to meet the demands of modern engine designs.

Engine Protection

Optimal detergency protects against deposits and corrosion in critical areas.

Operational Efficiency

BN retention and viscosity control minimize the need for topping up.

Reduced Operating Costs

Enhanced cleanliness and longer oil life leads to less oil consumption.

Shell Argina S2

Out of the lubricants in this collection, Shell Argina S2 is designed to withstand conditions of relatively low oil stress. It provides protection from deposits and corrosion and is suitable for residual, blended, and distillate fuels.

With Shell Argina S2, you can expect:

  • Extended oil life and minimized sweetening
  • Optimized detergency for an exceptionally clean crankcase, valve deck, and pistons
  • Application as a balancing grade for engines that switch between residual fuel and distillate operation

Shell Argina S3

Shell Argina S3 goes one step higher in its ability to withstand conditions of moderate oil stress. On top of protecting against deposits and corrosion, Shell Argina S3 also offers:

  • Oxidation resistance to reduce oil sweetening
  • Detergency that’s further optimized to reduce deposits in critical areas (e.g., piston undercrown)
  • Effective release of contaminants and water in centrifugal separators

Shell Argina S4

Shell Argina S4 is designed for withstanding higher levels of oil stress and most suitable for medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel.

It’s also been optimized to bring you:

  • Oxidation resistance to reduce oil sweetening and extend oil life
  • High detergency level, further optimized for extra protection from deposits and corrosion
  • Effective release of contaminants and water in centrifugal separators

Shell Argina S5

Shell Argina S5 offers the collection’s most advanced, efficient lubricant, most suitable for medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel. It’s designed for the latest high-output, low oil consumption engines.

With Shell Argina S5, you’re also getting the highest levels of:

  • Protection against deposits and corrosion for long oil life
  • Detergency of all Argina products for an exceptionally clean system, specially formulated to reduce deposits in critical areas
  • System efficiency, with effective release of contaminants and water in centrifugal separators
