for the most severe service in main propulsion auxiliary marine trunk piston engines burning up to 1% sulphur
distillate and bio-fuels.
The newly formulated Shell Gadinia S3 40 has also been optimised for use in non-engine applications which are
typically found on board such as gearboxes, clutches and stern tubes.

Additional Information
· Advice
When changing from high Sulfur fuel oil to a distillate or bio fuel, care should be taken if switching from Shell Argina S to
Shell Gadinia S3 so as to avoid sludge formation.
For use with ULSFO and dual fuel applications please consult specific OEM recommendations.
· Condition Monitoring
Shell RLA engine condition monitoring service enables the ship operator to monitor the condition of the oil and equipment
and to take remedial action when necessary. This helps to avoid breakdowns and costly downtime.
Shell RLA OPICA is an integrated software system enabling RLA data to be received electronically in the office and/or on
the vessel. It contains powerful data management and graphics, enabling efficiency gains in report handling and machine
condition monitoring.
