Amsoil HDD Diesel 5W-30
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Series 3000 100% Synthetic 5W-30
Diesel Oil (HDD) delivers extraordinary lubrication in both diesel and
gasoline engines found in commercial, fleet and personal vehicles. By combining
the industry’s premier synthetic technology with AMSOIL premium additives,
AMSOIL HDD exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. It
withstands the stress of higher heat, higher acid levels and excessive soot
loading found in EGR equipped engines. AMSOIL Series 3000 Synthetic 5W-30
Diesel Oil consistently outperforms conventional and synthetic diesel 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 HDD can extend drain intervals far beyond those recommended for
conventional 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.
MAXIMIZES FUEL ECONOMY
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is energy efficient for reduced
fuel costs. Its low viscosity minimizes “drag” associated with high viscosity
oils, allowing the engine to operate more freely, maximizing power and fuel
economy.
UNSURPASSED PROTECTION AGAINST ENGINE WEAR
In the Four-Ball Wear Test
(ASTM D-4172B) AMSOIL HDD demonstrated better anti-wear performance than
competitive petroleum and synthetic oils. Even under high temperatures and
pressures, its superior film strength and anti-wear additives help prevent
metal-to-metal contact. AMSOIL HDD reduces ring wear, cylinder bore polishing,
oil consumption and valve train wear for improved engine life and lower
maintenance costs.

CONTROLS SOOT THICKENING AND WEAR
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty
Diesel 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 HDD
loses only 6.7% of its
mass to high temperature volatility (evaporation) in the NOACK test,
outperforming all conventional oils. Because less oil vapor passes into the
combustion chamber, oil consumption and emissions are reduced. Additionally,
lower volatility helps AMSOIL HDD retain its viscosity after high temperature
service for continued dependable protection and excellent fuel economy.
EXCELS IN EXTREME TEMPERATURES
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel
Oil resists thermal (heat) breakdown, oxidation and sludge formation better than
conventional oils. And unlike conventional petroleum oils, AMSOIL HDD contains
no wax. It stays fluid down to -60°F for improved cold temperature oil flow,
reduced bearing wear and easier starting.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is recommended
for diesel engines and other applications requiring any of the listed worldwide
specifications and gasoline engines requiring API SL, SJ, SH . . . or ACEA A3. •
API CI-4+, CF, CF-2, SL • ACEA A3/B3, E2, E3, E5 • Global DHD-1 • JASO DH-1 •
Mack EO-N Premium Plus ’03 • DDC Power Guard 93K214 • Caterpillar ECF-1 •
Cummins CES 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077, 20078 • Volvo VDS-2, VDS-3 • MB 228.1,
228.3, 229.1 • MAN 3275 • MTU Type 1 • MIL-PRF-2104G • Allison C-4 AMSOIL HDD 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 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is recommended
for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) vehicles or
equipment as follows: Personal Light Truck Diesel or Gasoline Engine Service •
Normal Service(3) – Up to 25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or
longer based on oil analysis. • Severe Service(4) – Up to 15,000 miles or one
year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis. • Replace AMSOIL
Ea™ full flow oil filter or Donaldson Endurance™ ELF 7349 at the time of oil
change up to 25,000 miles (other brands at standard OEM* intervals). Commercial
or Fleet Vehicles, Long-Haul Trucks, Marine Craft, RV, Off-Road Equipment •
Non-EGR equipped diesels – extend drain intervals up to two times (2X) the OEM*
recommended drain interval or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based
on oil analysis. • EGR equipped or low emission diesels – extend drain intervals
based on oil analysis or use the OEM* recommended interval. • Replace Donaldson
Endurance™ or AMSOIL Ea™ full flow oil filters at the time of oil change up to
two times (2X) longer than the OEM* standard interval, not to exceed 60,000
miles in long-haul trucks. *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.
(3) Personal transportation vehicles
frequently traveling greater than 10 miles at a time and not operating under
severe service.
(4) Diesel and gasoline engines – commercial or fleet
vehicles, extensive engine idling, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles
(16 km), frequent towing, plowing or hauling heavy loads, frequent driving in
dusty conditions. Also, first and subsequent use of AMSOIL engine oil in
gasoline engines with 100,000 miles or greater and turbo/supercharged gasoline
engines. 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. Oil Analyzers Inc., 715-395-0222, is a
division of AMSOIL that provides cost effective, quality oil analysis services.
