PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil (ACD) is formulated with premium
synthetic base oils that exceed both 10W-30 multi-grade and SAE 30 straight-grade
viscosity requirements for outstanding performance in modern and older diesel engines.
Unlike conventional SAE 30 motor oils, AMSOIL ACD has a naturally high viscosity
index and does not contain paraffin (wax). It has a -33°F pour point and qualifies
for SAE 10W, making it an all-season multigrade lubricant with a wide operating
temperature range. AMSOIL ACD is formulated without viscosity index (VI) improvers.
This shear-stable formulation is designed to stop viscosity loss and associated
bearing and cylinder bore wear. AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Heavy Duty Diesel
Oil contains premium additives with a high 12 TBN to neutralize acids from blow-by,
exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and high-sulfur diesel fuels. It protects against
damaging piston deposits, ring sticking and sludge.
AMSOIL, the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication, produced the
world’s first API qualified synthetic motor oil back in 1972. Trust the extensive
experience of AMSOIL The First in Synthetics® to do the best job
protecting your equipment.
PERFORMANCE
Where these viscosity grades are specified, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Diesel
Oil provides outstanding performance as a straight-grade SAE 30 for older two- and
four-stroke diesels and as a multi-grade SAE 10W-30 in modern four-stroke diesel
and gasoline engines. AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is ideal for use in
a wide variety of light and heavy-duty applications, including agriculture, off-road
construction, trucking, mining, industrial (pumps and generators) and personal automotive
or commercial transportation. It is recommended for use with low- or high-sulfur
diesel fuels in standard, turbocharged or supercharged engines, all off-road engines
and pre-2007 on-road engines.
- SAE 10W-30 performance without VI improvers
- Cost-effective replacement for conventional oils
- Excellent shear stability
- Outstanding wear protection
- Superior protection over a broad range of operating temperatures

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL ACD is compatible with conventional and synthetic motor oils, however, mixing
AMSOIL ACD with other oils will shorten the oil life expectancy and reduce the performance
benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended drain intervals where AMSOIL ACD has
been mixed with another product.
Aftermarket additives are not recommended for use with AMSOIL ACD.
SERVICE LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil (ACD) is recommended
for extended drain intervals in engines that are unmodified and in good operating
condition.
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
- Two times (2X) OEM* recommendation, not to exceed 15,000 miles or one year, whichever
comes first.
*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.
