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
quali fies 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.
APPLICATIONS
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, including modern low emission diesels such
as those equipped with EGR systems.
PERFORMANCE
AMSOIL ACD is recommended for all diesel engines requiring any
of the listed worldwide specifications. It also may be used in
gasoline engines where the performance standards API SL or prior
are specified.

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 associated 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 ACD is formulated for extended drain intervals and
typically provides much longer service life than conventional
petroleum oils in diesel-fueled engines. Extended drain
intervals vary depending on application and operating
conditions. AMSOIL recommends ACD for the following drain
intervals:
In unmodified pick-up and automotive diesel
engines, extend drain intervals up to 25,000 miles or one
year*, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
Change AMSOIL or Donaldson Endurance™ oil filter at 12,500
miles or six months, whichever comes first, or longer if
stated by vehicle manufacturer (other brands at standard
intervals).
* Where the engine or operating conditions
have been modified from factory design, such as with the use
of performance chips, extend drain intervals based on oil
analysis.
In heavy-duty diesel engines, extend drain
intervals based on oil analysis. Change Donaldson Endurance™
oil filter at twice the recommended interval for conventional
cellulose media filters (other brands at standard intervals).
In gasoline engines, extend drain intervals
based on oil analysis. Change AMSOIL oil filter at twice the
recommended interval for conventional cellulose media filters
(other brands at standard intervals).
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 by-pass
filter system for maximum engine and oil life.
