PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Diesel Oil (ACD) is formulated with premium
synthetic base oils that exceed both 10W-30 multi-grade and SAE 30
straight-grade viscosity requirements for outstanding performance in modern
and older diesel engines. Unlike conventional SAE 30 motor oils, AMSOIL ACD
has a naturally high viscosity index and does not contain paraffin (wax). It
has a -36°F pour point and qualifies for SAE 10W, making it an “all season”
multi-grade lubricant with a wide operating temperature range. AMSOIL ACD is
formulated without viscosity index improvers (VI). This shear stable
formulation stops viscosity loss and associated bearing and cylinder bore
wear. AMSOIL ACD contains premium additives with a high 12 TBN to neutralize
acids from blow-by, exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and high sulfur diesel
fuels. It protects against damaging piston deposits, ring sticking and
sludge.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the
world’s first API qualified synthetic motor oil back in 1972. Trust the
extensive experience of AMSOIL The First in Synthetics®
to do the best job protecting your equipment.
APPLICATIONS
Where these viscosity grades are specified, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30
Diesel Oil (ACD) provides outstanding performance as a straight-grade SAE 30
for older two- and four-stroke diesels and as a multi-grade SAE 10W-30 in
modern four-stroke diesels as well as gasoline engines. AMSOIL ACD is ideal
for use in a wide variety of light and heavy-duty applications, including
agriculture, off-road construction, trucking, mining, industrial (pumps and
generators) and personal automotive or commercial transportation. It is
recommended 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.
• SAE 10W-30 performance
without VI improvers
• Cost-effective replacement for conventional oils
• Excellent shear stability
• Outstanding wear protection
• Superior protection over a broad range of operating temperatures
• Extended service life with oil analysis

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ACD is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils,
however, mixing AMSOIL ACD with other oils will shorten the oil life
expectancy and reduce the performance benefits. AMSOIL does not support
extended drain intervals where AMSOIL ACD has been mixed with another
product.
Aftermarket additives are not recommended for use with
AMSOIL ACD.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 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 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 by-pass
filter system for maximum engine and oil life.
