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.
PERFORMANCE
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, all off-road engines and pre-2007 on-road engines.

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:
Diesel Engine Service
• Normal Service — Up to
25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil
analysis.
• Severe Service — Up to
15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil
analysis.
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.
*OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer
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 Ea By-pass oil filters are specialized for the removal
of small, wear-causing dirt particles, thereby extending engine life.
AMSOIL encourages using an AMSOIL Ea By-pass filter system for maximum
engine and oil life.
