PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil
(AME) is a premium diesel oil providing excellent performance
in all types of diesel engines where highly effective
control of wear and deposits is vital. Built with heavy-duty
dispersant/detergent additives, its 12 TBN chemistry neutralizes
acids and controls soot thickening from EGR and
blow-by to protect against corrosion, cylinder bore polishing
(wear) and varnish/sludge deposits. AMSOIL AME resists
heat and breakdown better than conventional petroleum 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 AME can extend drain intervals far beyond those
recommended for conventional petroleum oils. Its unique
synthetic formulation and long drain additive system deliver
the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and performance
over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle
maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Advanced Soot and Wear Control Formula
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil
is heavily fortified with detergent/dispersant additives and
is naturally resistant to soot. It keeps soot particles suspended
independently, preventing them from attaching
together to form larger, wear-causing particles. Viscosity
increase is minimized and soot related wear is controlled.
Maximizes Fuel Economy, Reduces
Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL AME has lower volatility (evaporation) than con-ventional petroleum oils. Because less oil vapor passes into the combustion chamber, oil consumption and emissions are reduced. Lower volatility helps AMSOIL AME retain its viscosity after high temperature service for excellent fuel economy and continued dependable protection.
Excellent Cold Flow Properties
AMSOIL AME remains fluid down to -44°F. It eases cold
weather starting and provides vital start-up lubrication to
prevent engine wear. AME outperforms conventional 15W-40
petroleum oils and greatly minimizes the impact of cold
weather operation.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil
is engineered for use in a wide variety of light and heavyduty
applications, including over-the-road trucks, off road
construction, marine engines, farm equipment, mining,
industrial (pumps & generators) and personal automotive
or commercial transportation. It is excellent for use with low
or high sulfur diesel fuels in standard, turbocharged or
supercharged engines, including modern low emission
diesels such as those equipped with EGR systems.
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor
Oil is recommended for use in diesel engines and other
applications requiring any of the listed worldwide specifications
and gasoline engines requiring API SL, SJ, SH…
or ACEA A3.

MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL AME 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 Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor 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 longest drain
recommendation of the OEM*.
• 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) Engines operating under modified conditions are excluded from extended
drain recommendations. Examples include the use of performance computer
chips; non-OEM approved exhaust, fuel or air induction systems;
and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation
by the manufacturer.
(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, hauling heavy loads or
dusty-condition driving.
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 by-pass oil filters are specialized for the removal
of small, wear-causing dirt particles, thereby extending
engine life. AMSOIL encourages using an AMSOIL bypass
filter system for maximum engine and oil life.
