    Shell Melina Oils

    Multi-purpose marine diesel engine oil



    Shell Melina Oils are premium quality marine multi-purpose system oils designed,
    primarily, for low-speed, crosshead, marine diesel engines operating on residual fuels.
    They are alkaline oils giving the highest levels of protection in a wide variety of engine
    and shipboard applications
    Applications
    Crankcase systems of low-speed, crosshead,
    marine diesel engines operating on residual
    fuels
    Main and auxiliary trunk piston diesel
    engines burning distillate fuels
    Turbochargers
    Geared transmissions
    Oil-lubricated stern-tubes
    Variable pitch propellers
    Deck machinery
    Other ancillary equipment requiring an SAE
    20, 30 or 40 oil

    Performance Features
    Oxidation stability
    High resistance to oil thickening with
    negligible deposits in piston cooling spaces
    Excellent dispersancy
    Keeps sump tanks free from sludge and
    allows contaminants to be removed by
    filtration or by centrifugal separation
    Good alkalinity
    Neutralises the strong, highly corrosive,
    acids contained in the products of
    combustion which might contaminate the
    system as a result of cylinder oil draining
    leaking past piston rod glands, piston rings
    in trunk piston engines, through cracked
    pistons, rotary valve seals, etc.
    Good water shedding properties
    Particularly suitable for crosshead engines
    which use water cooling systems to control
    piston crown temperatures.
    Excellent resistance to corrosion
    Resistant to corrosion by salt water Rusting
    in machinery lubricated by Shell Melina Oils
    has been unknown, throughout its extensive
    service experience

    Performance Specifications
    API - CD
    US Military - MIL-L-2104C (obs.)
    Sulzer - Fully approved for
    crosshead marine diesel
    engines
    MAN B & W - Fully approved for
    crosshead marine diesel
    engines

    Purification
    Normal purification equipment and practices are
    recommended for the removal of contaminants.
    Equipment should be operated in accordance
    with Manufacturers' instructions.
    For satisfactory centrifugal separation, it is
    particularly important to:-
    Select the gravity disc size most appropriate
    to the oil density
    Contain the oil throughput to no more than
    that recommended for additive type lubricants
    by the machine manufacturer.
    Maintain an adequate oil separation
    temperature: the optimum should, wherever
    possible, be above 80C, but should not
    exceed 90C
    Operate the machine on a regular schedule,
    preferably daily. Continuous separation is
    often advisable, depending on the oil
    condition and size of centrifuge.

    Health & Safety
    Shell Melina Oils are unlikely to present any
    significant health or safety hazard when properly
    used in the recommended application, and good
    standards of industrial and personal hygiene are
    maintained.
    Avoid contact with skin. Use impervious gloves
    with used oil. After skin contact, wash
    immediately with soap and water.
    For further guidance on Product Health & Safety
    refer to the appropriate Shell Product Safety Data
    Sheet.
    S002C1PW.00E 1095
    Protect the environment
    Take used oil to an authorised collection point.
    Do not discharge into drains, soil or water.
