Shell Mysella S3: High-performance mineral-based natural gas engine oil
Shell Mysella S3 is a high-performance mineral-based natural gas engine oil designed for four-stroke gas engines operating under a wide range of conditions. It is particularly suitable for engines running on natural gas, landfill gas, biogas, and other low-quality gases that may contain higher levels of contaminants.
Shell Mysella S3 is widely used in power generation, cogeneration (CHP), and industrial gas engine applications, where reliability and deposit control are critical.
Applications:
Stationary gas engines used for power generation
Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants
Engines operating on:
Natural gas
Bio gas
Landfill gas
Sewage gas
Key Features and Benefits:
- Excellent Deposit Control
Helps reduce piston, ring, and combustion chamber deposits, ensuring cleaner engine operation. - Good Wear Protection
Protects critical engine components, extending engine life and reducing maintenance frequency. - Resistance to Oxidation and Nitration
Maintains oil stability under high temperatures and long operating hours. - Corrosion Protection
Designed to handle acidic by-products commonly formed when operating on bio- and landfill gases. - Cost-Effective Solution
Provides reliable performance at a lower cost compared to fully synthetic gas engine oils.
Key Properties:
- Medium ash formulation suitable for gas engines requiring controlled ash levels
- Good thermal stability for continuous operation
- Strong detergency and dispersancy to control sludge and varnish.
