Description
Shell Alexia 50 is a 2 stoke diesel engine oil for marine applications.
- Great value without compromising reliability. Shell Alexia 50 has excellent acidneutralising properties and control against deposits for outstanding cylinder and piston-ring wear protection.This results in extended engine component life and time between overhauls.
- Peace of mind. Shell Alexia 50 is compatible with all normal seal materials and stable under typical on-board conditions.
- Approved. Shell Alexia 50 is approved by key engine manufacturers and is suitable for all types of low-speed, crosshead diesel engines.*
- Trusted. Shell Alexia 50 has clocked up millions of operating hours. It has been developed over many decades in close co-operation with ship operators.
*For detailed application advice based on your specific engine type and operating conditions, refer to manufacturers’ guidelines. Shell Alexia 50 is fully miscible with all other cylinder lubricants. However, for optimum performance, Shell Alexia 50 should not be used with any other cylinder lubricant.
