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.
Maximizes Fuel Economy,
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. Lower
volatility helps AMSOIL AME retain its viscosity after high temperature
service for excellent fuel economy and continued dependable protection.
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 and other applications 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 &
Marine Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1),
mechanically sound(2) vehicles or equipment as follows:
Personal Light Truck
Diesel 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.
Gasoline Engine Service
• In gasoline engines,
oil drain intervals may be extended up to two times (2X) the OEM*
recommended drain interval (not to exceed 15,000 miles without oil
analysis) or one year, whichever comes first. Replace AMSOIL Ea™ full flow
filter at the time of oil change up to 25,000 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.
(3)
Personal transportation vehicles frequently traveling greater than 10 miles
(16 km) at a time and not operating under severe service.
(4)
Extensive engine idling, daily short trip driving less than 10 miles (16
km), frequent towing, plowing or hauling heavy loads and frequent driving in
dusty conditions.
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. 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 bypass filter system for maximum engine and oil
life.

oil analysis services.
