Technical Data Sheet

Shell Caprinus HPD 40


Railroad diesel engine oil

Shell Caprinus HPD 40 is a premium grade, heavy-duty, crankcase oil, intended mainly for railroad diesel engines of
American origin, particularly those manufactured by General Electric and General Motors Electro-Motive Division
(EMD).
Although it is fortified by additives providing alkalinity, dispersancy and resistance to oxidation, it does not contain
zinc and therefore can be used in EMD engines fitted with silver piston-pin bearings.
Shell Caprinus HPD 40, which contains high viscosity index mineral oil, is designed specially for use in highly rated
North American railroad engines subjected to the most severe operating conditions, especially where fuel sulphur is
high (say around 1%) and where long oil drain intervals are required.

Performance, Features & Benefits Specifications, Approvals & Recommendations

· Good detergency and dispersancy properties · Detroit Diesel - Recommended for DDC Series 149 engines
A carefully balanced combination of detergency and under severe conditions
dispersancy ensures outstanding engine cleanliness.
· API Service Class'n. - CD
· Good oxidation and thermal stability · EMD - Worthy of full scale field test (WOFT)
Good protection against corrosion by the acidic products of
combustion.
· General Electric - Gen 4 - Long Life "tentative approval"
· Good anti-wear properties · LMOA - Generation 5

and pressures.
Compatibility & Miscibility
· High viscosity index base oils
Provides a higher level of protection than lubricants based on · Seal & Paint Compatibility
naphthenic mineral oils. Shell Caprinus HPD 40 is compatible with all seal materials and
paints normally specified for use with mineral oils.
Main Applications

· North American diesel engines subjected to the most arduous


duty where 'zinc-free' oils are recommended by the engine
manufacturer. Applications are primarily for railroad
locomotives, however Caprinus HPD may also be suitable for
certain engines in power generation, marine and mine-haul
applications.
