PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy
Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil (AME) is
a premium diesel oil providing excellent
performance in all types of diesel
engines where highly effective control
of wear and deposits is vital. Built
with heavy-duty dispersant/detergent
additives, its 12 TBN chemistry
neutralizes acids and controls soot
thickening from EGR and blow-by to
protect against corrosion, cylinder bore
polishing (wear) and varnish/sludge
deposits. AMSOIL AME resists heat and
breakdown better than conventional
petroleum 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 AME can extend
drain intervals far beyond those
recommended for conventional petroleum
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.
Advanced Soot
and Wear Control Formula
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy
Duty Diesel & Marine Motor 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.
Maximizes Fuel
Economy, Reduces Oil Consumption and
Emissions
AMSOIL AME has lower
high temperature volatility
(evaporation) than conventional
petroleum oils. Because less oil vapor
passes into the combustion chamber, oil
consumption and emissions are reduced.
Lower volatility helps AMSOIL AME retain
its viscosity after high temperature
service for excellent fuel economy and
continued dependable protection.
Excellent Cold
Flow Properties
AMSOIL AME remains fluid
down to -51°F. It eases cold weather
starting and provides vital start-up
lubrication to prevent engine wear. AME
outperforms conventional 15W-40
petroleum oils and greatly minimizes the
impact of cold weather operation.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy
Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is
engineered for use in a wide variety of
light and heavyduty applications,
including over-the-road trucks, off road
construction, marine engines, farm
equipment, mining, industrial (pumps &
generators) and personal automotive or
commercial transportation. It is
excellent 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.
AMSOIL
Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine
Motor Oil is recommended for use in
diesel engines and other applications
requiring any of the listed worldwide
specifications and gasoline engines
requiring API SL, SJ, SH… or ACEA A3.

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL AME 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 Heavy
Duty Diesel & Marine Motor 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
bypass filter system for maximum engine
and oil life.

Analyzers Inc., 715-395-0222, is a
division of AMSOIL that provides cost
effective, quality oil analysis
services.
