AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil
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 Series 3000 exceeds the higher performance demands
of modern engines. It withstands the stress of higher heat, higher acid
levels and excessive soot-loading found in exhaust gas recirculation
(EGR)-equipped engines. AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 Synthetic Heavy
Duty 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 Series 3000 Diesel Oil can extend drain intervals far
beyond those recommended for conventional oils. Its unique
synthetic formulation and long-drain additive system deliver
maximum engine protection, cleanliness and performance over
extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and
waste oil disposal costs.
Maximizes Fuel Economy
AMSOIL Series 3000 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.
Maximum Protection Against
Engine Wear
Even under high temperatures and pressures, AMSOIL Series
3000 Diesel Oil’s superior film strength and anti-wear additives
help prevent metal-to-metal contact. AMSOIL Series 3000
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 Series 3000 Diesel Oil is heavily fortified with detergent/dispersant additives and is naturally resistant to soot. It is
designed to keep soot particles suspended independently and
prevent 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 Series 3000 Diesel Oil effectively reduces high-temperature
volatility (evaporation), outperforming conventional
oils. Because less oil vapor passes into the combustion chamber,
oil consumption and emissions are reduced. Additionally,
lower volatility helps AMSOIL Series 3000 Diesel Oil retain its
viscosity after high-temperature service for continued dependable
protection and excellent fuel economy.
Excels in Extreme Temperatures
AMSOIL Series 3000 Diesel Oil resists thermal (heat) breakdown,
oxidation and sludge formation better than conventional
oils. And unlike conventional petroleum oils, AMSOIL Series
3000 contains no wax. It stays fluid down to -50°C (-58°F) for
improved cold-temperature oil flow, reduced bearing wear and
easier starting.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is
recommended for diesel engines, gasoline engines and other
applications that require any of the following specifications:
- API CI-4+, CF, SL
- ACEA A3/B3, E2
- Global DHD-1
- JASO DH-1
- Mack EO-M+, EO-N Premium Plus ’03
- DDC Power Guard 93K214
- Caterpillar ECF-1-a, ECF-2
- Cummins CES 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077, 20078
- Volvo VDS-2, VDS-3
- MB 228.1, 228.3, 229.1
- MAN 271/3275
- MTU Type 2
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Series 3000 5W-30 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil 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 Series 3000 5W-30 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil
is recommended for extended drain intervals in unmodified,
mechanically-sound vehicles or equipment as follows:
Diesel Engine Service
- Three times (3X) OEM* recommendation, not to exceed 50,000 miles/600 hours or one year, whichever comes first. Drain intervals may be extended further with oil analysis.
Gasoline 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.
*Operating conditions and drain intervals for severe and normal service are defined by the OEM. Refer to your owner’s manual.
Note: Extended drain intervals are not recommended when using biofuels containing >10% ethanol or 5% biodiesel (B5). Follow OEM drain intervals or extend drain intervals with oil analysis.
