Shell UK Oils' 6Rs

Shell UK Oil Products has unveiled its '6 Rs' of lubrication, saying that planning and monitoring can help reduce operating costs and prolong equipment life.

The company's step-by-step guide starts by selecting the right lubricant for the particular application, and Shell is clear that if any of the six steps are not performed correctly, then equipment may not perform as well as it could. "At Shell, we believe that by taking a '6 Rs' approach to lubrication, and through working in close collaboration with our customers, it can help deliver a reduction in total costs of operations in a business, while giving peace of mind with proven and OEM- approved lubricant technology," said Richard Lonsdale, UK marketing manager.
