[Frank Machatschek speaks]
Eight years ago,we started the field trialwith Stuttgart Bus Company…
[Video footage]
Frank Machatschek speaks to the camera, from inside the workshop.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…using our synthetic Shell Rimula 5W-30low-viscosity engine oil technology.And today, after a total test distanceof 535,000km,we'll dismount an engine…
[Video footage]
A yellow bus has been elevated, whilst a Shell employeestands beneath it, looking up, with a tool in his hand.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…and we will bring the engineto our lab in Hamburg,and we will conducta joint engine inspection…

[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…together with Stuttgart Bus Company.
[Video footage]
The same Shell employee is standing under the bus again, but this time is joined by Frank Machatschek, who is observing, and a co-worker, also standing under the bus. The co-worker is using a tool above his head, which is attached to the bus.

When we develop and test Shell Rimulahigh-performance engine oils…
[Video footage]
Frank Machatschek speaks to the camera, from outside the workshop. There are two yellow buses parked in the background.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…we want to push boundaries further,so normal operating conditionsare not enough.We want test conditionsto be as severe as possible.
[Video footage]
The camera pans around, showing a blue sky with white clouds. A large white sign appears reading “SSB – Omnibusbetriebshot Gaisburg”.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
Stuttgart Bus Companyproved to be ableto give our test oil a really hard time…
[Video footage]
Frank Machatschek speaks to the camera, from outside the workshop.There are two yellow buses parked in the background.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…mainly because of a few things.First, due to the hilly terrain and steep gradients…
[Video footage]
The camera cuts to a road alongside houses, where a bus is driving towards the camera, before disappearing off-screen.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…our buses consumeup to 30% more fuel…
[Video footage]
The camera films from the front of a moving vehicle, along a winding road with a panoramic view on the left-hand side of the road. There are benches on the pavement on the left, where a person is sat overlooking the view. Two pedestrians are walking, one alongside the road and the other, across it.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…compared to the same enginesin the same vehicles on flat terrain.
[Video footage]
A bus drives past shops, towards the camera, before disappearing off-screen.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
Secondly,Shell Rimula enabled usto extend the oil drain interval significantly from 60,000km…
[Video footage]
Frank Machatschek speaks to the camera, from outside the workshop.There are two yellow buses parked in the background.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…which is the current maximum recommendedoil drain interval for this application,up to 130,000km…
[Video footage]
Another Shell employee is standing below an elevated bus, inspecting it.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…which basically meansone oil drain in two years.
[Video footage]
The camera cuts to a yellow container into which oil is being drained, in the workshop.
[Video footage]
A Shell employee is stood behind another bus, and is draining oil out of it.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
Last but not least,we have conducted this field trial,over an extremely long period of time
of eight years…
[Video footage]
The same employee takes a small clear bottle of oil to a workbench. He places the bottle on the table and sits down. There is a white piece of card on the table that he straightens out. There is also a roll of masking tape on the table.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…so that we can also provethe long-lasting engineprotection capabilitiesof our Shell Rimula product.
[Video footage]
The same Shell employee pours a large container of oil into an engine.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
So if the engine still looks good at the end of the test…
[Video footage]
The engine of a bus is lowered down to the ground.
[Frank Machatschek speaks]
…we can be sure that Shell Rimula is the right technology…
