PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine
Motor Oil combines the superior lubricity and
performance capabilities of a premium synthetic lubricant
with special rust and corrosion inhibitors. AMSOIL Synthetic
Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil
is recommended for engines used in marine
applications, as well as diesel engines
used in trucks, fleets,
mining, earth
moving, construction
and farm equipment.
Other applications include taxi and local
delivery fleets with gasoline or diesel
engines. 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. AMSOIL Synthetic
Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil maintains
an extremely protective viscosity of greater than 3.7
cP at 302°F
(150°C)
in the ASTM D-4683 High Temperature/High Shear Test, exceeding
the test limits.
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 in 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
Conventional oils oxidize at high temperatures,
causing sludge and deposit build-up that decrease fuel
efficiency and contribute to corrosion and increased engine
wear. AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel
and Marine Motor Oil, with a flash point of 442°F
(228°C), resists oxidation and thermal
breakdown far better than conventional oils.
It continues to provide maximum protection at temperatures
that oxidize conventional oils. Also, the advanced heat
transfer capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL Synthetic
Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil helps
engines run cooler and reduces
wear.
Extended
Drain Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine
Motor Oil is formulated for extended
drain intervals. Its unique synthetic
formulation, improved detergent/dispersant
capabilities, and long drain additive
package ensure maximum
engine protection, cleanliness
and performance
over extended drain periods. Its advanced
12 TBN formulation keeps engines in superb condition
even when the oil is used for extended
drain intervals.
Provides
Low Temperature Protection
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil
remains fluid at temperatures as low as -47°F
(-44°C). It circulates rapidly
to provide vital lubrication and prevent
engine wear caused by lack of oil flow. AMSOIL
Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil
allows quicker, easier cold temperature starting with
less engine wear.
Reduces
Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine
Motor Oil passes the NOACK Volatility Test. Many
conventional lubricants cannot pass this requirement.
Low volatility means less oil vapor passing into the combustion
chamber. A reduction of oil vapor means lower
oil consumption and lower exhaust emissions.
The high detergent alkalinity of AMSOIL Synthetic
Heavy-Duty Diesel and Marine Motor Oil also helps
reduce oil consumption.
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.
SERVICE
LIFE - Changing intervals
Diesel engines, fleet vehicle engines and industrial
engines: drain oil at intervals up to two times longer
than recommended by the engine manufacturer or at six
month intervals. Extended drain intervals
may be used if they are supported by the findings of used
oil analysis.
Personal car and light-truck non-turbocharged
gasoline engines and marine craft gasoline engines:
drain oil at intervals up to three times longer
than those recommended by the engine manufacturer, or
one year, whichever comes first.
Non-commercial, turbocharged passenger car
gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to
two times longer than those recommended by the engine
manufacturer, or six months, whichever comes first.
High-performance or racing engines: drain oil
at intervals determined by the findings of a used oil
analysis program.
Motorcycle engines and small four-cycle gasoline
engines: use engine manufacturer's oil drain recommendations.
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.
