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 volatility (evaporation) than con-ventional
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 -44°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 heavyduty
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 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.
