PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil (PCO) features
a dual-base of premium synthetic and hydro-processed base oils in
formulation with proven high quality anti-wear additives. This
multi-use oil is designed for both heavy-duty diesel engines
(including modern EGR units) and gasoline engines, combining
versatility and heavy-duty engine protection into one cost
effective motor oil. It is formulated with high levels of
dispersant and detergent additives that effectively control acids
and soot thickening to prevent corrosion, wear and deposits.
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil is excellent
for all season use in on- or off-road applications.
Maximizes Fuel Economy, Minimizes Oil Consumption and
Emissions
The synthetic base oil component in AMSOIL PCO reduces oil
volatility (burn-off). Less make-up oil is required to replace
volatilized oil and less oil vapor gets into the exhaust stream.
Oil viscosity increase is controlled, which minimizes drag for
better efficiency.
Improved Extreme Temperature Performance
Unlike other semi-synthetic oils, AMSOIL PCO contains a high
content of quality synthetic oils for enhanced performance. Heat
and oxidation resistance are improved for clean engine operation
and long lasting engine oil service life. Dependable
cold-temperature flow is assured for easier start-up and improved
post start-up protection.
Bid Appropriate
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 fulfills the requirements of most
public and private purchasing bids. It is API CI-4 Plus/SL,
Detroit Diesel PowerGuard 93K214 and Mack EO-N Premium Plus
'03 registered, making it ideal where these registrations are
required.
• Licensed specifications
• Versatile for mixed fleets

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL PCO 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 Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil is recommended
for use according to the longest service interval established by
the engine, vehicle or equipment manufacturer. Drain intervals
may be extended based on oil
analysis.
AMSOIL Ea™ full flow and Donaldson
Endurance™ oil filters are designed for extended drain
intervals. They capture more wear-causing particles, have less
restriction and last longer than regular filters. For best
performance, use AMSOIL Ea full-flow or Donaldson Endurance oil
filters.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns when used
for the intended application and according to the recommendations
in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS). An MSDS is available
upon request at 715- 392-7101 or via the Internet on the AMSOIL
website. Keep Out of Reach of Children. Don't pollute.
