SHELL ALEXIA 40

Description

Shell Alexia 40 is a BN 40 marine cylinder lubricant developed for low-speed, crosshead two-stroke diesel engines operating on low-sulphur residual fuel. Its carefully balanced formulation provides reliable lubrication between cylinder liners and piston rings while helping neutralise acidic combustion products. The oil offers effective protection against corrosive and mechanical wear, contributing to longer component life and dependable engine operation. Its detergent properties help maintain piston and cylinder cleanliness by controlling deposits, while good oil distribution supports efficient lubrication throughout the cylinder. Shell Alexia 40 is intended for use according to the engine manufacturer’s recommendations and the sulphur content of the fuel being burned.
