Look inside the first

After 8,558 hours on Shell

Tornus Oil, the grooves in the piston rings are still visible. te&.tz sjWsS

Photo above, a closeup view through the No. 2 cylinder air box inspection cover of a 20- cylinder turbocharged EMD 645.

This engine, and its starboard twin, power the 'Lillian Clark,' one of Mississippi Valley

Barge Line's newest boats for tow service on the lower and middle Mississippi.

Look through the ports —which is easy, because the ports are 100 percent open. Now look closely at the ring faces. The grooves in the chrome-faced rings are clearly visible. And if the piston weren't in the way, you'd see the cross-hatching on the cylinder liner.

All the signs of remarkable cleanliness. All the signs of remarkably low wear. Even after pushing up to 30 loaded barges for 8,558 hours at an average load factor of 70 to 75 percent.

Our photo reveals almost all you need to know about the crankcase lubricant: Shell's new super-stable, super-dispersant

TORNUS® Oil. It's listed by General Motors as a Widely Used Oil for both turbo and non- turbocharged engines. Its performance is verified.

But you don't need EMD 645's to take advantage of Tornus Oil. Your Shell Marine

Representative has the details. Or write Shell
