“Shell has been ranked the world’s leading global lubricants supplier over such a long period for our consistency in offering high-quality engine oils. Shell Rimula has specifically been designed for heavy-duty diesel engines that work hard to meet the needs that the tough terrain and environments our roads have to offer. Our goal, therefore, is to empower customers to make informed decisions so that they can get more value on every shilling spent on their vehicle maintenance,” said Tusingwire.

“Shell Rimula delivers better wear control, acid control, deposit, and Sludge protection for reduced maintenance costs, longer engine life, and better fuel efficiency. I encourage all drivers to participate in the ‘Genda Okikube’ campaign so that they can enjoy benefits both from Shell Rimula and the additional value this campaign has to offer.”
