US: Shell Rotella lubricant uses application to inform about PC-11 changes
The Shell Rotella brand has started a website and a mobile application to teach about API Proposed Category (PC) 11 and how it will impact current and older engines when the category replaces the API CJ-4 engine oils by 2017.
“The new Shell Rotella interactive PC-11 website will serve as a resource for fleets, owner/operators and anyone driving a diesel powered pickup truck or operating equipment to learn more about PC-11 and how it will affect their business.” said Kate Faucher, global marketing projects lead for Shell Lubricants.
Unlike past categories that are backward compatible with the previous category, the new category will have two subcategories, one that is backward compatible to older engines and one that will work with upcoming engine designs. Therefore, education about both oils will be vitally important, it said.
