Diesel Engines
PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend
15W-40 Diesel Oil is a modern blend of high
performance synthetic base stocks, natural base
stocks, and advanced additives. It provides
outstanding performance and protection over
extended drain intervals in light and heavy-duty
diesel engines.
Remains
Stable at Temperature Extremes
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend
15W-40 does not change viscosity (thicken or
thin) at temperature extremes like conventional
motor oils. With its advanced semi-synthetic
formulation, AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 is
significantly more shear stable than conventional
oils, retaining its viscosity at temperatures
and loads that break down conventional motor
oils.
Resists
Oxidation - Reduces Engine Wear
Conventional oils
oxidize at high temperatures, causing sludge
and deposit build-up that decrease fuel efficiency,
contribute to corrosion, and increase engine
wear. AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Motor Oil
resists oxidation and thermal breakdown far
better than conventional oils. It continues
to lubricate, cool and protect at temperatures
that oxidize conventional oils. In addition,
the advanced heat transfer capabilities and
high lubricity of AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40
help engines run cooler with less wear.
Extended
Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend
15W-40 is formulated for extended drain intervals.
Its unique synthetic formulation, excellent
detergent/dispersant capabilities, and long
drain additive package ensure maximum engine
protection, cleanliness, and performance over
extended drain periods. In fact, 12 TBN AMSOIL
Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Motor Oil keeps engines
in "like-new" condition even when
the oil is used for extended service intervals.
Improves
Cold Weather Performance
Due to their
wax content, conventional oils thicken in cold
temperatures and, on cold starts, may take as
long as five minutes to lubricate internal engine
parts. AAMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 stays
fluid at very low temperatures. It circulates
rapidly to provide vital lubrication and prevent
engine wear caused by lack of oil flow. AMSOIL
Synthetic Blend 15W-40 allows quicker, easier
cold temperature starting with less engine wear.
Reduces
Oil Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic
Blend 15W-40 is low volatility oil. Low volatility
means less oil vapor passing into the combustion
chamber. A reduction of oil vapor means lower
oil consumption and lower exhaust emissions.
The high detergent alkalinity of AMSOIL Synthetic
Blend 15W-40 also helps reduce oil consumption.
Improves
Fuel Economy and Reduces Emissions
The premium quality
synthetic base oil in AMSOIL Synthetic Blend
15W-40 provides a tough lubricating film on
all engine parts, reducing friction and fuel
consumption. Reducing fuel consumption reduces
exhaust emissions.
Protects
Against Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic
Blend 15W-40 contains special rust-inhibiting
additives. It is ideal for use in engines used
intermittently.
MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic
Blend 15W-40 is compatible with petroleum and
synthetic lubricants; however, mixing the AMSOIL
with other oils will shorten the extended drain
period. Oil additives or after-market products
are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic
Blend 15W-40 Motor Oil.

SERVICE
LIFE
Light-duty diesel
engines, non-turbocharged diesel engines, heavy-duty
diesel engines, turbocharged diesel engines,
fleet vehicle engines and industrial engines:
drain oil at intervals up to two times longer
than those recommended by the engine manufacturer,
or 6 months, whichever comes first if extended
drains are supported by the findings of a used
oil analysis program.
Personal car and
light truck non-turbocharged gasoline engines:
drain oil at intervals up to two times longer
than those recommended by the engine manufacturer
or one year, whichever comes first.
Non-commercial,
turbocharged passenger car gasoline four-cycle
engines, motorcycles, small off-road four-cycle
gasoline engines, marine craft engines and infrequently
used four-cycle gasoline automotive engines:
use engine manufacturer's oil drain recommendations.
High-performance
or racing engines: drain oil at intervals determined
by the findings of a used oil analysis program.
Change AMSOIL Full
Flow Oil Filters at 12,500 mile or six month
intervals, whichever comes first, in gasoline
engines. In diesel engines change AMSOIL Oil
Filters at 7,000 miles or six months, whichever
comes first. Change other manufacturers' filters
at the engine manufacturer's recommended filter
change intervals.
