Benefits and Features:
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.
Service Life:
-
For diesel-fueled, light truck vehicles, extend oil drain intervals up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis. - In diesel auto/light trucks, replace AMSOIL or Donaldson Endurance™ oil filter at 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first. Replace Donaldson “P” Series and other brand oil filters at standard OEM* intervals.For non-EGR equipped heavy-duty “on-road” trucks or off-road equipment and diesel powered marine craft,
extend drain intervals up to 2X the OEM* recommended interval or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
-
For EGR equipped or low emission (2002 & newer) heavyduty “on-road” trucks, extend drain intervals based on oil analysis or use OEM* recommended intervals. - In heavy-duty trucks, off-road equipment and marine diesel, replace AMSOIL full flow or Donaldson Endurance™ filters at the time of oil change up to 2 times OEM* standard intervals, not to exceed 60,000 miles or 500 hours. Replace Donaldson “P” Series and other brand oil filters at standard OEM* intervals.
-
In gasoline engines, extend oil drain intervals based on oil analysis or use OEM* recommended intervals. Change AMSOIL full flow oil filters at the time of oil change, not to exceed 12,500 miles. Replace other brand oil filters at standard OEM* intervals.
*OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer
(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 to the
recommendations in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
MSDS's are available upon request at 715-392-7101 or via
the Internet at www.AMSOIL.com. Keep Out of Reach of
Children. Don't pollute. Return used oil to collection centers.
Mixing AMSOIL:
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic oils; however, mixing AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil with a conventional oil will shorten the extended drain period of AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil. Engine oil additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil.
Oil Filter Recommendations:
Change AMSOIL Full Flow Oil Filters at 12,500-mile or six-month intervals, whichever comes first, in gasoline engines. In diesel engines change AMSOIL Full-Flow Oil Filter at 7,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Change other manufacturers' oil filters at the engine manufacturer's recommended filter change intervals.
