      The best oil for old diesels
      By  MIKE78,  a  Verified Buyer  from  Dixon, CA  on  June 01, 2026
      The 15w-40 heavy duty diesel and marine oil is the only oil I’d use in my old Dodge Cummins 24 valve with a flat tappet valve train. The newer CK-4 rates diesel engine oils are designed for the newer emissions engines with a DPF and roller valve trains. The CK-4 oils don’t have the additive package needed to protect the older diesels because those very lubrication & detergent additives, zinc, phosphorus, & calcium, will damage the DPF and emissions equipment on newer diesels. Oil manufacturers will say the newer CK-4 and higher oils are backwards compatible, but they truly aren’t. This is coming from a guy that has an AA degree in diesel mechanics, 37 years working for a heavy equipment dealership, 17 years as a HD mechanic, 3 years as a T/C which also involved managing the oil lab, and the last 17 as a product support rep. I truly hope Amsoil continues to keep the HD 15w-40 diesel & marine oil in their line up.
      Bottom Line
      Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

      The best diesel oil for pre-emissions vehicles.
      By  HUNTER,  a  Verified Buyer  on  November 12, 2025
      Got turned into this oil by a master mechanic for Detroit Marine Diesel engines. I have never used anything else in my duramax and recommend it to anyone that doesn’t have a DPF. I use oil analysis and the results wish for themselves.
      Bottom Line
      Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

      All I use in my pre DPF Duramax trucks
      By  DAN,  a  Verified Buyer  from  CA  on  October 27, 2025
      This oil has a TBN of 12 and it's all I use in my Duramax LBZ trucks. Has a higher ash content not suitable for DPF trucks. Read the Amsoil article about the million mile Duramax.
      Bottom Line
      Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

      HD Diesel 15w-40 best for older diesel engine
      By  MIKE,  a  Verified Buyer  from  California   on  August 26, 2025
      I’ve been using the HD Diesel & Marine oil in my 2002 2500 Dodge Cummins, which is a flat tappet cam follower system. I trust the high zinc and other additives that are used in the older CG-4 & plus classification oils and Amsoil is at the top in quality. I don’t trust the “backwards compatible” statement in the use of the newer CK classification. These newer engines with DPF’s have to run the CK classification due to the ash from what oil gets by the rings and gets burned in the combustion cycle. The older high zinc and calcium additives cause problems in the current diesel emissions system, but you have to understand, these newer diesel engines are engineered for these oils. They are all running roller cam followers & roller tappets with less friction than my older flat tappet & cam follower cummins. I’m so thankful that Amsoil still offers the 15w-40 HD Diesel & Marine oil.
      Bottom Line
      Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.

      Great Motor Oil.
      By  ALVIN,  a  Verified Buyer  from  80421  on  July 05, 2025
      I have used this motor oil in a 2001 Ford F250. I have pulled a 38 foot fifth wheel among other things and it has never used a drop of oil. I change it once a year and I have been very impressed with the results.
      Bottom Line
      Yes, I would recommend this to a friend.
