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 heavy duty 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:
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) heavy
duty“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.
