Shell Corena S3 R 46 Long Life
Improved Efficiency
Premium Rotary Air Compressor Oil
Shell Corena S3 R is a premium quality air compressor oil designed to deliver high performance lubrication of rotary
sliding vane and screw air compressors. It uses an advanced additive system to provide excellent protection and
performance for compressors running at up to 20 bar and 100C discharge temperatures with oil maintenance
intervals of up to 6000 hours.
