Series 3000 5W-30
Heavy Duty Diesel Oil
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
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.
