PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 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 -36°F pour point and qualifies
for SAE 10W, making it an “all season” multi-grade lubricant
with a wide operating temperature range. AMSOIL ACD is formulated
without viscosity index improvers (VI). This shear stable formulation
stops viscosity loss and associated bearing and cylinder bore
wear. AMSOIL ACD 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.
APPLICATIONS
Where these viscosity grades are specified, AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Diesel Oil (ACD) 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
diesels as well as gasoline engines. AMSOIL ACD 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
• Extended service life with
oil analysis

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 Heavy Duty Diesel 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 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 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.
