New federally mandated fuel economy standards.

The Federal Government recently announced the first-ever regulations setting heavy-duty truck fuel efficiency standards, intended to reduce fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions from heavy trucks by as much as 23%.

Heavy-duty truck standards will average about a 20% reduction in both measures by model year 2018, depending on a truck’s payload, the Department of Transportation said.

The standards are targeted to save truckers up to 4 gallons of fuel for every 100 miles traveled, the DOT said in a statement.

Administration officials expect the standards to save 530 million barrels of oil from 2014 to 2018, and save vehicles $50 billion in fuel costs.*

At Shell, we understand the importance of fuel economies to come. But we are also doing something right now about maximizing your fuel dollar. For over 40 years, Shell Rotella® heavy-duty diesel engine oils have worked hard to deliver protection, performance and fuel economy. The Shell Lubricants Team also offers a full line of innovative services like Shell LubeVideoCheck, Shell LubeCoach and Shell LubeAnalyst to make sure you’re getting the most out of every gallon of fuel for your fleet.

FUEL ECONOmy. NOW mORE THAN EvER AN ImpORTANT pART OF STAyING IN BUSINESS.

FUEL ECONOmy AND yOUR BUSINESS

*Transport Topics, issue 8.9.11, “Obama Announces Heavy-Duty Truck Fuel Economy Standards.”

HOW TO ImpROvE yOUR FUEL ECONOmy

practical tips for improving fuel economy:

Avoid Excessive Idling: 1 hour = approximately 1% reduced fuel economy

Slow Down: Every mph over 55 costs 0.1 mpg

plan your routes. Going out of your way to reach a destination costs you money

Check your tire pressure: Properly inflated tires reduce rolling resistance

Check your air filter and intake system: A dirty air filter may reduce engine efficiency

Check your truck-trailer gap: A smaller gap improves aerodynamics – 36” is optimal

Service your Diesel particulate Filter System: Proper maintenance keeps your exhaust system performing at its best and reduces potential flow restriction.

THERE ARE TWO SIDES TO FUEL ECONOmy: COmmON SENSE AND SCIENCE.

The science of how a good heavy duty engine oil can improve your fuel economy.

Approximately 50% of fuel energy is lost as heat through the exhaust cooling systems. Approximately 5% is dissipated through engine friction and pumping losses – leaving roughly 45% available as engine output. This energy is used to overcome the following factors: Aerodynamic drag, rolling resistance, drive train friction, accessories operation, inertial forces. This is why properly lubricated parts and moving surfaces are essential.

HOW TO ImpROvE yOUR FUEL ECONOmy

How hardworking heavy-duty engine oils can impact your fuel economy:

n Minimizing friction and viscous losses in the engine, in bearing contact areas

n Lowering the energy wasted through pumping “thicker” oils

n The thickness (viscosity) of all oils varies with temperature – the hotter the oil, the lower the viscosity

n If the oil is too thick, you get power loss/drag

n If the oil is too thin, you get high friction and wear

n Different parts of the engine operate at different temperatures: ring, valve train and bearings are hotter than oil sump, engine block/oil galleries and oil pump

Hardworking synthetic lubricants may improve fuel economy, too:

n Having the right viscosity to protect and lubricate in critical parts of the engine while minimizing friction

n Providing lower viscosity to make it easy to pump and lubricate, and minimize pumping losses (Especially in cold weather climates)

mEASURING FUEL ECONOmy

At Shell, we use high technical and statistical standards for measuring the Fuel Economy (FE) benefits of Heavy Duty Diesel Engine Oils.

n Robust data collection strategy. Shell validates fuel economy claims for its products through statistically designed field/fleet tests.

n Reported data is significant at 95% confidence. This represents a potential fuel savings that is real and not just the “noise” of testing.

n State-of-the-art hardware, software and statistical methodologies are routinely used for Fuel Economy testing.

n Test conditions used to generate Fuel Economy claims are disclosed.

The difficulties of measuring Fuel Economy

It is well established how engine oils can influence fuel economy:

n Minimizing friction and viscous losses in the engine, in bearing/contact areas

n Lowering the energy wasted through pumping “thicker” oils.

While the lubricant used in a truck has a definite influence on fuel consumption, this effect is not always easy to measure because there are many other factors that also have a big influence, such as:

n Idle Time

n Truck components and operating conditions

n Driver behavior and training

n Weather

n Route Patterns and Road / traffic conditions

n Load/GVW

THE SHELL AppROACH TO EvALUATING FUEL ECONOmy BENEFITS.

FUEL ECONOmy TRIALS

Shell has validated fuel economy claims for its products through rigorously controlled and statistically designed field tests. Under optimal conditions, Shell would design a closely monitored and highly statistical test protocol for demonstrating fuel economy at your fleet. However, we understand this is not a viable scenario for most fleets, given the demands of everyday operations. That is why we offer below the fundamentals for a fleet to run a fuel economy trial:

n The fleet should already be actively monitoring fuel economy prior to the start of the test.

n Based upon this previous history, the fleet needs to have an established fuel economy baseline for a select group of units that would be available for testing.

n A minimum of 50 trucks is preferable. Run a minimum of 25 trucks on a conventional 15W-40 as a baseline and 25 trucks on the test oil. (The more units included can provide more accurate/valid data).

n Fleet should have been using the current brand/type/viscosity grade of HDEO for the past 12 months.

n The optimal scenario would be to run the test oil for one full drain interval before initiating the fuel economy testing (to minimize 15W-40 carryover). This may not be practical for all fleet applications.

n Test units need to be maintained at the same location.

n Access to (ECM)Electronic Control Module data is preferable, as this allows the separation of the fuel burned during idle and during driving.

n Use of a dedicated driver/unit combinations throughout the trial period is preferred.

n Team drivers are not preferred as this introduces multiple variables to the unit’s operation.

n The units selected should include a variety of engine/drive-train combinations that reflect the make-up of the fleet.

n A variety of route patterns that the fleet currently runs should be included as well. This will allow seeing if better fuel economy is demonstrated between city and (OTR)Over The Road routes.

n Fuel type and source should remain consistent throughout the test period.

n Oil drain intervals and other drive train lubricants must not change through the test period.

n No aerodynamic additions or deletions can be made to the truck or trailer throught the test period.

n No tire changes should be made throught the test period.

THE BASICS OF HOW TO RUN A FUEL ECONOmy TRIAL.

*Fuel economy benefit of Shell Rotell™ T5 10W-30 vs. 15W-40

SHELL ROTELLA® T5 10W-30 HAS BEEN EvALUATED IN mULTIpLE FIELD TESTS SINCE ITS LAUNCH.

Fuel economy means a better bottom line.

A Shell Rotella® Fleet customer recently shared with us some very exciting news. Their cost analysis of over 410 trucks, over a period of twelve months, revealed a fuel economy savings of $1,477.00 per truck for a total of $605,570 – proof that running oil that works as hard as you do really does help your bottom line.

n Data presented here reflects field tests in MY 2008/2009 Detroit Diesel DD15 engines which ran for ~829,000 miles, with oil drains between ~50,000 to ~60,000 miles. Intermediate sampling was conducted throughout the oil drain.

n Shell Rotella® T5 10W-30 was run (4 units) side by side with two different API CJ-4 15W-40 oils (12 units).

n Engine inspections were conducted on two units running Shell Rotella® T5 10W-30 between ~633,000, 654,000 and 829,000 miles and on three units running 15W-40 oils between ~557,000, 567,000 and 623,000 miles.

The engine inspection results obtained at ~633,000, 654,000 and 829,000 miles, in conjunction with the used oil data collected over the entire ~800,000 test miles, indicate that Shell Rotella® T5 10W-30 provided excellent protection against acids and deposits in these engines. Data also shows wear protection was not compromised, when compared to the wear protection given by multiple 15W-40 oils running in the same test.

Shell LubeAnalystOil and equipment condition monitoring service

Shell LubeAnalyst is a “health check” for your lubricants and machinery. It is an oil condition monitoring service that helps you keep your business running smoothly by identifying certain oil or equipment conditions, before they become critical. Shell LubeAnalyst can help your business save money and time on maintenance, and avoid lost production caused by equipment operational problems. It is an early warning system that helps you keep your equipment and lubricants in optimum working order.

Applications

Shell LubeAnalyst has specialized tests for key applications, including:n Diesel Enginesn Axlesn Circulating systemsn Compressorsn Coolant systemsn Gas enginesn Heat transfer systemsn Hydraulicsn Industrial gearboxes

n Marine applicationsn Metalworking equipmentn Refrigeration compressorsn Transformersn Transmissionsn Gearboxesn Turbinesn Aviation Engines

Oil analysis is one of the most effective ways to monitor the condition of your engine. A regular oil analysis program helps you build an historic database and watch for trends in a variety of areas. Ideally, you want to analyze a sample of used engine oil after every oil change.

Serving as an early warning system, oil analysis can alert you to problems before they become costly headaches. A used engine-oil sample can tell if contaminants such as water, coolant, fuel or dirt are getting into the oil, indicating a head-gasket leak, a leaking fuel injector or other problems. Spectrochemical analysis detects the presence of wear metals in the oil – unusually high amounts of wear metals could be a sign of abnormal wear. The analysis will also measure the oil’s viscosity, base number (reserve alkalinity) and fuel-soot level.

The knowledge gained from a consistent oil analysis program can assist you in optimizing your oil drain interval, help increase equipment reliability, help minimize unscheduled downtime, and more precisely track operating efficiency and maintenance practices. This combination could contribute to lowering your total operating costs. When employing oil analysis, make certain you fill out labels that accompany your sample. Be sure to note if you added any oil between oil drains and what type was used.

For more information about the Shell LubeAnalyst program, contact your local Shell distributor or retailer.

The following are general guidelines to follow when conducting an initial audit of your facility, with the goal of improving operational efficiencies. If you have multiple maintenance facilities within your organization, conduct assessments at each facility, so that “best practices” can be shared and utilized among all locations. Start by reviewing the following areas: Safety, Lubricant Inventory, Lubricant Storage, Lubricant Dispensing, Coolant Inventory and Filter Application/Storage.

Safety

Safety procedures should begin at the entrance to your facility. Review these industry “best practices” to see if they are in place at your facilities.

parking Lot:

n All personal vehicles should be backed into their parking stalls.

n Safety signage at the yard entrance should notify visitors of required PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

n Muster Stations clearly marked

Offices and Shop Floor:

n All visitors should be registered before entering facility or grounds

n All Exits clearly marked

n All Fire Extinguishers clearly marked

n All Fire Extinguishers have current inspection certification

n Muster points clearly identified in case of evacuation

n Tornado/Storm shelters clearly identified

n First Aid station appropriately supplied

Shop Floor:

n PPE available to, and utilized by, all shop visitors

n All mechanics utilizing safety glasses and steel toe shoes

n Eye wash stations clearly identified

n Safety lockouts available and in use

n Wheel chocks in use


Shop Floor (continued):

n New and used batteries appropriately stored

n Full and empty acetylene tanks appropriately stored and chained in place

n Reflective safety vests worn by all employees while on the shop grounds

n Use guides when pulling equipment into the shop

n In-ground maintenance pits must have: Safety rails, non-slip stair treads, safety nets when not in use, appropriate lighting, appropriate water drainage

n Chemicals stored in appropriate cabinets

n Hoses not left on the floor

n Refrain from using oil dry (dust is a lubricant contaminant); utilize oil absorbent pads instead

n Proper storage for used oil rags and absorbent pads

n Properly dispose of used oil filters (based upon jurisdictional requirements)

Lubricant Storage

n All bulk lubricant and coolant storage tanks should have these features:

- Double walled - Drain valves for contaminant removal - Appropriate containment (based upon jurisdictional requirements) - Containment should have drain valves for contaminant removal - Desiccant air breathers on all bulk tanks - Sight gauges for determining fluid level - Bulk tanks labelled with Maximum Fill Point and gallons per inch - All fill points should be locked - In-line filtration on all bulk fluids - Bulk storage tanks properly labelled with product brand name

and viscosity grade

n All totes, drums and kegs should be stored inside, in drums and kegs, horizontally.

n All drums and kegs stored outside should:

- Be undercover or utilize drum/keg covers

- Blocked, with bungs at the 3 and 9 o’clock positions for drainage

n All packaged products stored within parts room

n All Oil Analysis kits properly stored in parts room


n Utilize a single lubricant provider to minimize potential cross contamination due to miscellaneous fluids, greases and coolants entering the shop

n Verify that all lubricants meet your individual OEM requirements

Lubricant Dispensing

n All dispensing handles should be properly labelled with the product name and viscosity grade

n All overhead reels should have proper drip containment and secondary product labels

n Remove all funnels, open containers and pails from your facility. These promote contamination from dirt/dust and possible cross contamination of non-compatible fluids
