Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil SAE 15W-40 (AME)
Engineered for all types of diesel engines with an emphasis on modern, low emission heavy duty diesel engines. High 12 TBN controls acids from combustion blow-by and EGR. High levels of detergency and dispersancy additives control soot thickening, oxidation and wear. Resists bore polishing, deposit formation and ring sticking. Provides clean engine performance. Extended drain capabilities reduce downtime and motor oil expenses.
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.

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 & Marine Motor
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 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 longest drain recommendation of the OEM*.
• 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) Engines operating under modified
conditions are excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples include
the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or
air induction systems; and the use of fuels other than those recommended
for normal operation by the manufacturer.
(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,
hauling heavy loads or dusty-condition driving.
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
bypass filter system for maximum engine and oil life.
