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 qualifies
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.

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 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
Synthetic Heavy Duty
Diesel Oil is
recommended for extended
drain intervals in
unmodified(1),
mechanically sound(2)
vehicles or equipment as
follows:
Personal Light Truck
Diesel Engine Service
-
Normal Service(3) —
Up to 25,000 miles
or one year,
whichever comes
first, or longer
based on oil
analysis.
-
Severe Service(4) —
Up to 15,000 miles
or one year,
whichever comes
first, or longer
based on oil
analysis.
-
Replace AMSOIL Ea™
full flow oil filter
or Donaldson
Endurance™ ELF 7349
at the time of oil
change up to 25,000
miles (other brands
at standard OEM*
intervals).
Commercial or Fleet
Vehicles, Long-Haul
Trucks, Marine Craft,
RV, Off-Road Equipment
-
Non-EGR equipped
diesels — extend
drain intervals up
to two times (2X)
the OEM* recommended
drain interval or
one year, whichever
comes first, or
longer based on oil
analysis.
-
EGR equipped or low
emission diesels —
extend drain
intervals based on
oil analysis or use
the OEM* recommended
interval.
-
Replace Donaldson
Endurance™ or AMSOIL
Ea™ full flow oil
filters at the time
of oil change up to
two times (2X)
longer than the OEM*
standard interval,
not to exceed 60,000
miles in long-haul
trucks.
Gasoline Engine Service
-
In gasoline engines,
oil drain intervals
may be extended up
to two times (2X)
the OEM* recommended
drain interval (not
to exceed 15,000
miles without oil
analysis) or one
year, whichever
comes first. Replace
AMSOIL Ea™ full flow
filter at the time
of oil change up to
25,000 miles.
Replace other brand
oil filters at
standard OEM*
intervals.
*OEM = Original
Equipment Manufacturer
(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.
(3) Personal
transportation vehicles
frequently traveling
greater than 10 miles
(16 km) at a time and
not operating under
severe service.
(4) Extensive engine
idling, daily short trip
driving less than 10
miles (16 km), frequent
towing, plowing or
hauling heavy loads and
frequent driving in
dusty conditions. AMSOIL
Ea™ and Donaldson
Endurance™ full flow oil
filters are designed for
extended drain
intervals. They stop
smaller particles, have
less restriction and
last longer than regular
filters. For best
performance, use AMSOIL
Ea or Donaldson
Endurance oil filters.
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.
Oil Analyzers Inc.
(715-395-0222) is a
division of AMSOIL that
provides cost-effective,
quality oil analysis
services.
