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 volatility (evaporation) than con-ventional 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 -44°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.

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 Oil is recommended
for extended drain intervals in unmodified(1), mechanically
sound(2) vehicles or equipment as follows:
Diesel Engine Service
• Normal Service — Up to 25,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
• Severe Service — Up to 15,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
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.
*OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer
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 Ea By-pass oil filters are specialized for the removal of
small, wear-causing dirt particles, thereby extending engine
life. AMSOIL encourages using an AMSOIL Ea By-pass filter
system for maximum engine and oil life.
