AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Heavy
Duty Diesel Oil
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 quali fies 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,
including modern low emission diesels such as those equipped
with EGR systems.
PERFORMANCE
AMSOIL ACD is recommended for
all diesel engines requiring any of the listed worldwide
specifications. It also may be used in gasoline engines
where the performance standards API SL or prior are specified.

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 associated 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 ACD is formulated for
extended drain intervals and typically provides much longer
service life than conventional petroleum oils in diesel-fueled
engines. Extended drain intervals vary depending on application
and operating conditions. AMSOIL recommends ACD for the
following drain intervals:
In unmodified pick-up and automotive
diesel engines, extend drain intervals up to 25,000 miles
or one year*, whichever comes first, or longer based on
oil analysis. Change AMSOIL or Donaldson Endurance
oil filter at 12,500 miles or six months, whichever comes
first, or longer if stated by vehicle manufacturer (other
brands at standard intervals).
* Where the engine or operating conditions
have been modified from factory design, such as with the
use of performance chips, extend drain intervals based
on oil analysis.
In heavy-duty diesel engines, extend
drain intervals based on oil analysis. Change Donaldson
Endurance oil filter at twice the recommended interval
for conventional cellulose media filters (other brands
at standard intervals).
In gasoline engines, extend drain intervals
based on oil analysis. Change AMSOIL oil filter at twice
the recommended interval for conventional cellulose media
filters (other brands at standard intervals).
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
by-pass filter system for maximum engine and oil life.
