    Shell Argina S3 30 is a lubricant designed for medium-speed diesel engines operating on residual fuel in conditions of moderate oil stress. It is formulated to resist oxidation and maintain its base number to reduce the need for oil sweetening. The lubricant also has optimized detergency to prevent deposits and corrosion, protecting the engine. Shell Argina S3 30 can extend oil life, minimize deposits, and effectively separate contaminants in centrifugal separators.
