Exceeds All Performance
Requirements of Light and Heavy-Duty 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.
