PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Series 3000 100%
Synthetic 5W-30 Diesel Oil (HDD)
delivers extraordinary
lubrication in both diesel and
gasoline engines found in
commercial, fleet and personal
vehicles. By combining the
industry’s premier synthetic
technology with AMSOIL premium
additives, AMSOIL HDD exceeds
the higher performance demands
of modern engines. It withstands
the stress of higher heat,
higher acid levels and excessive
soot loading found in EGR
equipped engines. AMSOIL Series
3000 Synthetic 5W-30 Diesel Oil
consistently outperforms
conventional and synthetic
diesel 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 HDD can extend
drain intervals far beyond those
recommended for conventional 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.
MAXIMIZES FUEL ECONOMY
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel
Oil is energy efficient for reduced fuel
costs. Its low viscosity minimizes
“drag” associated with high viscosity
oils, allowing the engine to operate
more freely, maximizing power and fuel
economy.
UNSURPASSED PROTECTION AGAINST ENGINE
WEAR
In the Four-Ball Wear
Test (ASTM D-4172B) AMSOIL HDD
demonstrated better anti-wear
performance than competitive petroleum
and synthetic oils. Even under high
temperatures and pressures, its superior
film strength and anti-wear additives
help prevent metal-to-metal contact.
AMSOIL HDD reduces ring wear, cylinder
bore polishing, oil consumption and
valve train wear for improved engine
life and lower maintenance costs.

CONTROLS SOOT THICKENING AND WEAR
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30
Heavy Duty Diesel 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 HDD loses only 6.7% of its mass
to high temperature volatility
(evaporation) in the NOACK test,
outperforming all conventional oils.
Because less oil vapor passes into the
combustion chamber, oil consumption and
emissions are reduced. Additionally,
lower volatility helps AMSOIL HDD retain
its viscosity after high temperature
service for continued dependable
protection and excellent fuel economy.
EXCELS IN EXTREME TEMPERATURES
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-30 Heavy Duty Diesel
Oil resists thermal (heat) breakdown,
oxidation and sludge formation better
than conventional oils. And unlike
conventional petroleum oils, AMSOIL HDD
contains no wax. It stays fluid down to
-60°F for improved cold temperature oil
flow, reduced bearing wear and easier
starting.

AMSOIL
HDD 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 5W-30
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 or Gasoline
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.
*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 at a time and not operating under
severe service.
(4)
Diesel and gasoline engines – commercial
or fleet vehicles, extensive engine
idling, daily short trip driving less
than 10 miles (16 km), frequent towing,
plowing or hauling heavy loads, frequent
driving in dusty conditions. Also, first
and subsequent use of AMSOIL engine oil
in gasoline engines with 100,000 miles
or greater and turbo/supercharged
gasoline engines.
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. Oil
