PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and
Marine Motor Oil provides superior lubricity and performance in
marine applications, as well as diesel engines used in trucks,
fleets, mining, earth moving, construction and farm equipment.
With its extended drain intervals, AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty
Diesel and Marine Motor Oil reduces maintenance costs, downtime
and the cost of waste oil disposal.
Provides High
Shear Stability
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and
Marine Motor Oil surpasses the European ACEA and North American
SAE oil specifications for high temperature/high shear (HTHS)
viscosity. It is significantly more shear stable than conventional
motor oils, retaining its viscosity at temperatures and loads that
break down conventional oils.
Prevents Rust
and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and
Marine Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion-inhibiting
additives to prevent the rusting or corrosion of iron, copper,
lead and aluminum materials.
Improves Fuel
Economy
The premium quality synthetic base
stocks of AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil
provide a tough lubricating film on all engine parts, reducing
friction and fuel consumption. Reduced fuel consumption reduces
exhaust emissions of carbon dioxide, water and particulates.
Resists
Oxidation - Reduces Engine Wear
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and
Marine Motor Oil effectively resists oxidation and thermal
breakdown that decreases fuel efficiency and increases wear and
corrosion. It continues to provide maximum protection at
temperatures that oxidize conventional oils, while its advanced
heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity reduce wear and keep
engines running cool.
Extended Drain
Intervals
The premium synthetic base stocks and
long drain additive packages of AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel
and Marine Motor Oil ensure maximum engine protection, cleanliness
and performance over extended drain periods.
Provides Low
Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and
Marine Motor Oil remains fluid at temperatures as low as -46°F
(-51°C). It circulates rapidly to provide vital lubrication,
prevent engine wear and allow quicker, easier cold temperature
starting.
Reduces Oil
Consumption and Emissions
The low volatility properties and high
detergent alkalynity of AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and
Marine Motor Oil effectively keep oil consumption and exhaust
emissions to a minimum.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and
Marine Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils
and other synthetic oils; however, mixing AMSOIL Synthetic
Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil with a conventional oil
will shorten the extended drain period of AMSOIL Synthetic
Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil. Engine oil additives or
after-market products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL
Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil.

SERVICE LIFE
Diesel engines, fleet vehicle engines
and industrial engines: drain oil at intervals up to two times
longer than recommended by the engine manufacturer or at six month
intervals. Extended drain intervals may be used if they are
supported by the findings of used oil analysis.
Personal car and light-truck
non-turbocharged gasoline engines and marine craft gasoline
engines: drain oil at intervals up to three times longer than
those recommended by the engine manufacturer, or one year,
whichever comes first.
Non-commercial, turbocharged
passenger car gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to two
times longer than those recommended by the engine manufacturer, or
six months, whichever comes first.
High-performance or racing engines:
drain oil at intervals determined by the findings of a used oil
analysis program.
Motorcycle engines and small
four-cycle gasoline engines: use engine manufacturer's oil drain
recommendations.
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 Full-Flow Oil
Filter at 7,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Change
other manufacturers' oil filters at the engine manufacturer's
recommended filter change intervals.
