PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil (DME) is the premium choice
for API CJ-4 emission-quality diesel oil required by model-year
2007 and newer diesel engines. It delivers extraordinary
lubrication in diesel engines found in commercial, fleet and
personal vehicles. Built with the latest additive and synthetic
base oil technology, AMSOIL Premium Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil
exceeds the higher performance demands of modern engines. It
withstands the stress of heat, soot and acids to help prevent
deposits, corrosion and wear. 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.
Exceeds Emission System
Requirements
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil is a low-sulfated ash
formulation that provides excellent performance in low-emission
diesel engines. It is compatible with all exhaust treatment
devices and is designed to extend the service life of diesel
particulate filters (DPF).
Extended Drain
Performance
AMSOIL Premium 15W-40 Diesel Oil can extend drain intervals far
beyond those recommended for conventional petroleum oils. Its
unique synthetic formulation and longdrain additive system (10.4
TBN) deliver superior engine protection, cleanliness and
performance over extended drain intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic
15W-40 Diesel Oil provides
maximum protection for up to 3X the OEM-recommended drain
interval, and further with oil analysis.
Controls Soot-Thickening and
Wear
The advanced synthetic base oils in AMSOIL 15W-40 Diesel Oil are
naturally resistant to soot contamination. That, along with a
heavy fortification of detergent/dispersant additives, keeps soot
particles suspended independently, helping prevent the formation
of larger, wear-causing particles. Viscosity increase is
minimized and soot-related wear is
controlled.
Superior Shear Stability, Reduced Oil
Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil has lower volatility
(burn-off) than conventional petroleum oils. Because less oil
vapor passes into the combustion chamber, oil consumption and
emissions are reduced. Lower volatility helps AMSOIL Premium
Diesel Oil retain its viscosity after high-temperature service
for continued dependable protection.
Ideal for Fleets
AMSOIL Premium 15W-40 Diesel Oil reduces operating costs through
extended drain intervals. It is engineered for a wide range of
applications, allowing fleet operators to consolidate engine oil
inventories in mixed fleets. In addition, it reduces downtime
through extended drain intervals and improved equipment
protection.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Premium CJ-4 Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil is recommended
for diesel engines and, where appropriate, gasoline engines
requiring any of the following specifications:
• SAE 15W-40
• API CJ-4, CI-4+, CF, SM
• ACEA E7, E9
• Mack EO-O Premium Plus
• DDC Power Guard 93K218
• Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2
• Cummins 20081
• Volvo VDS-4
• MB 228.31
• MTU Type I & II
• MAN 3275
• JASO DH-2
• Global DHD-1
• Renault RLD-3
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil 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 Premium CJ-4 Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil is recommended
for extended drain intervals in engines that are unmodified and
in good operating condition.
Diesel Engine Service
• Three times (3X) OEM* recommendation, not to exceed 50,000
miles/600 hours or one year, whichever comes first. Drain
intervals may be extended further with oil analysis.
Gasoline Engine Service
• Two times (2X) OEM* recommendation, not to exceed 15,000
miles or one year, whichever comes first.
*Operating conditions and drain intervals for
severe and normal service are defined by the OEM. Refer to your
owner’s manual.
Note: Extended drain intervals are not
recommended when using biofuels containing >10% ethanol or 5%
biodiesel (B5). Follow OEM drain intervals or extend drain
intervals with oil analysis.
