THE ONLY THING WORSE THAN BREAKING DOWN IS BREAKING THROUGH.
50-ton payloads. 430-hp engines. Four feet of gently shifting ice. Welcome to Canada's ice roads, 800 miles of frozen ribbons carved across the lakes and tundra of the rugged Northwest Territories, and the latest testing ground for Shell Rotella T. For the two months that they exist, these brittle roads provide lifelines to villages tucked well above the Arctic Circle. They give drivers the rare opportunity to cross frozen lakes at 15 mph in the face of howling winds and average temperatures that hover around minus 40°.
    Here, worlds away from the labs where it meets all major specifications, including the new Caterpillar ECF-1, Shell Rotella T protected against the cold starts, endless idling and brutal conditions that can cripple an engine. And again proved why it's your guardian in any extreme. Shell Rotella T protected here. It belongs in your truck.  SHELL OIL
