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.
Reduces
Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL AME has lower high temperature volatility (evaporation)
than conventional petroleum oils. Because less oil vapor passes
into the combustion chamber, oil consumption and emissions are
reduced. Additionally, lower volatility helps AMSOIL AME retain
its viscosity after high temperature service for continued
dependable protection and excellent fuel economy.
Excellent
Cold Flow Properties
AMSOIL AME remains fluid down to -51°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.

Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is recommended for use in diesel
engines 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 and Marine Motor Oil is
recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1),
mechanically sound(2) vehicles or equipment as follows:
(1) Where the engine or operating conditions
have been modified from the original manufacturers' design, no
oil change interval recommendation is made. Oil change intervals
are at the owner's discretion. Examples include the use of
performance computer chips; modified exhaust, fuel or air
induction systems and the use of fuels other than those
recommended for normal operation by the manufacturers.
(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.
AMSOIL full-flow and Donaldson Endurance™
oil filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They stop
smaller particles, flow more oil and last longer than regular
filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL full-flow or Donaldson
Endurance™ oil filters.
