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
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.
