PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Diesel Oil (ACD)
is formulated with premium synthetic base oils that exceed both
10W-30 multi-grade and SAE 30 straight-grade viscosity requirements
for outstanding performance in modern and older diesel engines.
Unlike conventional SAE 30 motor oils, AMSOIL ACD has a naturally
high viscosity index and does not contain paraffin (wax). It
has a -36°F pour point and quali fies for SAE 10W, making it
an "all season" multi-grade lubricant with a wide
operating temperature range. AMSOIL ACD is formulated without
viscosity index improvers (VI). This shear stable formulation
stops viscosity loss and associated bearing and cylinder bore
wear. AMSOIL ACD contains premium additives with a high 12 TBN
to neutralize acids from blow-by, exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR) and high sulfur diesel fuels. It protects against damaging
piston deposits, ring sticking and sludge.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive
synthetic lubrication, produced the world's first API qualified
synthetic motor oil back in 1972. Trust the extensive experience
of AMSOIL The First in Synthetics® to do the best job
protecting your equipment.
APPLICATIONS
Where these viscosity grades are
specified, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Diesel Oil (ACD) provides
outstanding performance as a straight-grade SAE 30 for older
two- and four-stroke diesels and as a multi-grade SAE 10W-30
in modern four-stroke diesels as well as gasoline engines. AMSOIL
ACD is ideal for use in a wide variety of light and heavy-duty
applications, including agriculture, off-road construction,
trucking, mining, industrial (pumps and generators) and personal
automotive or commercial transportation. It is recommended 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.
PERFORMANCE
AMSOIL ACD is recommended for all
diesel engines requiring any of the listed worldwide specifications.
It also may be used in gasoline engines where the performance
standards API SL or prior are specified.

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ACD is compatible with conventional
and synthetic motor oils, however, mixing AMSOIL ACD with other
oils will shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the associated
performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain
intervals where AMSOIL ACD has been mixed with another product.
Aftermarket additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL
ACD.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL ACD is formulated for extended
drain intervals and typically provides much longer service life
than conventional petroleum oils in diesel-fueled engines. Extended
drain intervals vary depending on application and operating
conditions. AMSOIL recommends ACD for the following drain intervals:
In unmodified pick-up and automotive diesel
engines, extend drain intervals up to 25,000 miles or one
year*, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
Change AMSOIL or Donaldson Endurance oil filter at 12,500
miles or six months, whichever comes first, or longer if stated
by vehicle manufacturer (other brands at standard intervals).
* Where the engine or operating conditions
have been modified from factory design, such as with the use
of performance chips, extend drain intervals based on oil
analysis.
In heavy-duty diesel engines, extend drain
intervals based on oil analysis. Change Donaldson Endurance
oil filter at twice the recommended interval for conventional
cellulose media filters (other brands at standard intervals).
In gasoline engines, extend drain intervals
based on oil analysis. Change AMSOIL oil filter at twice the
recommended interval for conventional cellulose media filters
(other brands at standard intervals).
AMSOIL by-pass oil filters are specialized
for the removal of small, wear causing dirt particles, thereby
extending engine life. AMSOIL encourages using an AMSOIL by-pass
filter system for maximum engine and oil life.
