MVI OILS MVI oil has been the oil for
medium-speed diesels for nearly 50 years
MVI Caprinus R Oil is
Shell's best for tow
boats powered by
the newest (or
oldest) medium-
speed diesels.
For almost a half-century, engine
builders and operators alike have
preferred MVI (medium viscosity
index) oils for medium-speed die-
sels. Carbon deposits formed when
using MVI oils tend to be soft and
to slough off with normal engine
operation. Deposits formed using
HVI (high viscosity index) oils tend
to be hard and continue to build
up in the engines. In two-stroke
units, hard deposits can block
ports to the point that engine out-
put suffers. Excessive ring groove
fill can lead to bore polishing,
broken rings and increased oil
consumption.
The major difference in MVI lub-
ricating oils today is in the additive
technology that has extended oil
life, with improved lubricating
qualities and greater protection
against corrosion. Yet, the primary
benefit of MVI oil still applies -
carbon deposits remain soft, and
engines stay cleaner.
Shell has just completed a new
plant doubling its MVI base stock
capacity. Although engine manu-
facturers have broadened VI limits
in their engine oilrecommenda-
tions in
recognition of a
general MVI shortage - you
do not have to accept an HVI oil.
Shell's new plant, combined with
the increased use of oil analysis by
operators to help conserve oil,
means there will be enough MVI
Caprinus* R Oil for the foreseea-
ble future.
Keep the inherent advantages of
MVI oil and take advantage of mod-
ern technology with MVI Caprinus
R Oil for outstanding performance
in your medium-speed diesels.

on MVI Caprinus R Oil, and the
MVI/HVI story.
