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.

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.
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.
