Product Description AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil provides superior lubricity and performance in marine applications, as well as diesel engines used in trucks, fleets, mining, earth moving, construction and farm equipment. With its extended drain intervals, AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil reduces maintenance costs, downtime and the cost of waste oil disposal. Provides High Shear Stability AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil surpasses the European ACEA and North American SAE oil specifications for high temperature/high shear (HTHS) viscosity. It is significantly more shear stable than conventional motor oils, retaining its viscosity at temperatures and loads that break down conventional oils. Prevents Rust and Corrosion AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil contains special rust and corrosion-inhibiting additives to prevent the rusting or corrosion of iron, copper, lead and aluminum materials. Improves Fuel Economy The premium quality synthetic base stocks of AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil provide a tough lubricating film on all engine parts, reducing friction and fuel consumption. Reduced fuel consumption reduces exhaust emissions of carbon dioxide, water and particulates. Resists Oxidation – Reduces Engine Wear AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil effectively resists oxidation and thermal breakdown that decreases fuel efficiency and increases wear and corrosion. It continues to provide maximum protection at temperatures that oxidize conventional oils, while its advanced heat transfer capabilities and high lubricity reduce wear and keep engines running cool. Extended Drain Intervals The premium synthetic base stocks and long drain additive packages of AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil ensure maximum engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain periods. Provides Low Temperature Protection AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil remains fluid at temperatures as low as -46°F (-51°C). It circulates rapidly to provide vital lubrication, prevent engine wear and allow quicker, easier cold temperature starting. Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions The low volatility properties and high detergent alkalynity of AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil effectively keep oil consumption and exhaust emissions to a minimum. MIXING AMSOIL AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil is compatible with conventional petroleum oils and other synthetic oils; however, mixing AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil with a conventional oil will shorten the extended drain period of AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil. Engine oil additives or after-market products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil.APPLICATION AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil is Recommended for Applications Requiring the Following Specifications:
Change AMSOIL Full Flow Oil Filters at 12,500-mile or six-month intervals, whichever comes first, in gasoline engines. In diesel engines change AMSOIL Full-Flow Oil Filter at 7,000 miles or six months, whichever comes first. Change other manufacturers’ oil filters at the engine manufacturer’s recommended filter change intervals. |
