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 AME 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 AME can extend drain intervals
far beyond those recommended for conventional petroleum oils.
Its unique synthetic formulation and long drain additive system
deliver the best possible 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 keeps soot
particles suspended independently, preventing them from attaching
together to form larger, wear-causing particles. Viscosity increase
is minimized and soot related wear is controlled.
Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL AME has lower high temperature
volatility (evaporation) than conventional petroleum oils. Because
less oil vapor passes into the combustion chamber, oil consumption
and emissions are reduced. Additionally, lower volatility helps
AMSOIL AME retain its viscosity after high temperature service
for continued dependable protection and excellent fuel economy.
Excellent Cold Flow Properties
AMSOIL AME remains fluid down to
-51°F. It eases cold weather starting and provides vital start-up
lubrication to prevent engine wear. AME 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
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 Heavy Duty Diesel
and Marine Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals
in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) vehicles or equipment
as follows:
(1) Where the engine or operating conditions
have been modified from the original manufacturers' design,
no oil change interval recommendation is made. Oil change intervals
are at the owner's discretion. Examples include the use of performance
computer chips; modified exhaust, fuel or air induction systems
and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal
operation by the manufacturers.
(2) Engines are in good working condition and
within the factory design settings. Mechanically sound engines,
for example, do not leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are
not worn out, do not overheat, do not have internal or external
anti-freeze leaks and have a properly working emission control
system. AMSOIL recommends repairs be made to malfunctioning
engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
AMSOIL full-flow and Donaldson Endurance
oil filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They
stop smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular
filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL full-flow or Donaldson
Endurance oil filters.
Health & Safety
This product is not expected to cause health
concerns when used for the intended application and according
