XADO 15W-40 SHPD Red Boost is a mineral engine oil for diesel engines in pickups, vans, lorries, buses, tractors and generators. It carries Revitalizant, our technology that protects and restores the metal inside the engine while it works.

The cheapest part of running a diesel is the oil. The most expensive is what happens when the oil is not up to the job: a worn turbo, tired injectors, an engine overhaul that takes the vehicle off the road for weeks. Good oil is the most affordable insurance an engine can have.

This one is made for the long term. It keeps the engine clean by holding soot in the oil until the next change, instead of letting it settle as sludge. It gives the turbocharger outstanding protection. It stands up to fuel that is not always as clean as it should be. And it stays strong in the heat of a fully loaded engine.

Then there is what no ordinary mineral oil offers. Revitalizant builds a ceramic-metal layer on the parts that rub together, and our Red Boost formula keeps the oil’s protective reserve up between services. Together they extend the life of the engine and bring down what it costs you to maintain.

Why owners choose it

It suits all types of diesel engine, turbocharged or not, including those with exhaust gas recirculation (EGR). It also works in petrol engines, so one oil can serve a mixed fleet. It gives reliable lubrication at high temperatures and under heavy loads. It neutralises the acids and ash that build up in a hard-working diesel. And it brings Revitalizant protection at a mineral-oil price.

Running a newer diesel with a particulate filter (DPF)? That engine needs a low-ash oil instead. Tell our specialists the make, model and year, and they will confirm the right XADO oil before you buy.

Genuine XADO, straight from the source

Every can we sell comes directly from XADO and arrives sealed. Our Nairobi service centre can also do the oil change for you.

An engine overhaul costs more than years of good oil. Choose the oil.

How to use

Check the owner’s handbook for how much oil the engine holds. Diesel pickups and vans usually take 6 to 8 litres, so plan on two 4-litre cans for a full change, with a 1-litre can for top-ups. Trucks and tractors take more.

Warm the engine for a few minutes, switch it off, then drain the old oil and fit a new oil filter. Pour in XADO 15W-40 SHPD Red Boost and check the level on the dipstick. Run the engine for a minute, switch off, wait, and check again.
