PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel &
Marine Motor Oil (AME) is a premium diesel oil providing excellent
performance in all types of diesel engines where highly effective
control of wear and deposits is vital. Built with heavy-duty
dispersant/detergent additives, its 12 TBN chemistry neutralizes
acids and controls soot thickening from EGR and blow-by to protect
against corrosion, cylinder bore polishing (wear) and varnish/sludge
deposits. AMSOIL 15W-40 Diesel Oil resists heat and breakdown better
than conventional petroleum oils for long lasting performance and
protection.
AMSOIL, the leader in
automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API
qualified synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive
experience of AMSOIL The First in Synthetics ® to do the best job
protecting your engine.
Extends Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil can extend
drain intervals far beyond those recommended for conventional
petroleum oils. Its unique synthetic formulation and long-drain
additive system deliver maximum engine protection, cleanliness and
performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle
maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Advanced Soot and Wear
Control Formula
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is heavily
fortified with detergent/dispersant additives and is naturally
resistant to soot. It is designed to keep soot particles suspended
independently and prevent them from attaching together to form
larger, wear-causing particles. Viscosity increase is minimized and
soot-related wear is controlled.
Maximizes Fuel Economy,
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL Diesel & Marine Motor Oil has lower volatility (evaporation)
than con-ventional petroleum oils. Because less oil vapor passes
into the combustion chamber, oil consumption and emissions are
reduced. Lower volatility helps AMSOIL 15W-40 Diesel Oil retain its
viscosity after high-temperature service for excellent fuel economy
and continued dependable protection.
Excellent Cold Flow
Properties
AMSOIL AME remains fluid down to -44°F. It eases cold-weather
starting and provides vital start-up lubrication to prevent engine
wear. AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil outperforms
conventional 15W-40 petroleum oils and greatly minimizes the impact
of cold weather operation.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is engineered
for use in a wide variety of light and heavyduty applications,
including over-the-road trucks, off road construction, marine
engines, farm equipment, mining, industrial (pumps & generators) and
personal automotive or commercial transportation. It is excellent
for use with low or high sulfur diesel fuels in standard,
turbocharged or supercharged engines, including modern low emission
diesels such as those equipped with EGR systems.
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel &
Marine Motor Oil is recommended for use in diesel engines and other
applications requiring any of the listed worldwide specifications
and gasoline engines requiring API SL, SJ, SH… or ACEA A3.

MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL AME is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils.
Mixing AMSOIL motor oils with other oils, however, will shorten the
oil life expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does
not support extended drain intervals where oils have been mixed.
Aftermarket oil additives are
not recommended for use with AMSOIL motor
oils.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Heavy Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil (AME)
is recommended for extended drain intervals in engines that are
unmodified and in good operating condition.
Diesel Engine Service
- Three times (3X) OEM* recommendation, not to
exceed 50,000 miles/600 hours or one year, whichever comes
first. Drain intervals may be extended further with oil
analysis.
Gasoline Engine Service
- Two times (2X) OEM* recommendation, not to
exceed 15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first.
*Operating conditions and drain intervals for
severe and normal service are defined by the OEM. Refer to your
owner’s manual.
Note:
Extended drain intervals are not recommended when using biofuels
containing >10% ethanol or 5% biodiesel (B5). Follow OEM drain
intervals or extend drain intervals with oil analysis.
AMSOIL Ea™ and Donaldson Endurance™
full flow oil filters are designed for extended drain intervals.
They stop smaller particles, have less restriction and last longer
than regular filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea or
Donaldson Endurance oil filters.
AMSOIL
Ea By-pass oil filters are specialized for
the removal of small, wear-causing dirt particles, thereby extending
engine life. AMSOIL encourages using an AMSOIL Ea By-pass filter
system for maximum engine and oil life.
Health & Safety
This product is not expected to cause health concerns
when used for the intended application and according to
the recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
An MSDS is available upon request at 715-392-7101 or
