PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil (PCO)
features a dual-base of premium synthetic and hydro-processed
base oils in formulation with proven high quality anti-wear
additives. This multi-use oil is designed for both heavy-duty
diesel engines (including modern EGR units) and gasoline
engines, combining versatility and heavy-duty engine protection
into one cost effective motor oil. It is formulated with high
levels of dispersant and detergent additives that effectively
control acids and soot thickening to prevent corrosion, wear and
deposits. AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor
Oil is excellent for all season use in on- or off-road applications.
Maximizes Fuel Economy, Minimizes Oil
Consumption and Emissions
The synthetic base oil component in AMSOIL PCO reduces oil
volatility (burn-off). Less make-up oil is required to replace
volatilized oil and less oil vapor gets into the exhaust stream.
Oil viscosity increase is controlled, which minimizes drag for
better efficiency.
Improved Extreme Temperature
Performance
Unlike other semi-synthetic oils, AMSOIL PCO contains a
high content of quality synthetic oils for enhanced performance.
Heat and oxidation resistance are improved for clean engine operation and long lasting engine oil
service life. Dependable cold-temperature
flow is assured for easier start-up and improved post start-up protection.
Bid Appropriate
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 fulfills
the requirements of most public and
private purchasing bids. It is API CI-4
Plus/SL, Detroit Diesel PowerGuard
93K214 and Mack EO-N Premium Plus
'03 registered, making it ideal where
these registrations are required.

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL PCO 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 Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor Oil
is recommended for use according to the longest service
interval established by the engine, vehicle or equipment
manufacturer. Drain intervals may be extended
based on oil analysis.
AMSOIL Ea™ full flow and Donaldson Endurance™ oil
filters are designed for extended drain intervals. They capture
more wear-causing particles, have less restriction and
last longer than regular filters. For best performance,
use AMSOIL Ea full-flow or Donaldson Endurance
oil filters.
HEALTH & SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health concerns
when used for the intended application and according to
