PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty
Diesel & Marine Motor Oil (AME) is a
premium diesel oil providing excellent
performance in all types of diesel
engines where highly effective control of
wear and deposits is vital. Built with
heavy-duty dispersant/detergent
additives, its 12 TBN chemistry
neutralizes acids and controls soot
thickening from EGR and blow-by to
protect against corrosion, cylinder bore
polishing (wear) and varnish/sludge
deposits. AMSOIL AME resists heat and
breakdown better than conventional
petroleum oils for long lasting
performance and protection.
AMSOIL,
the leader in automotive synthetic lubrication,
produced the world’s first API qualified
synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the
extensive experience of AMSOIL The First in
Synthetics ® to do the best job protecting your
engine.
Extends Drain
Intervals
AMSOIL AME can extend drain intervals far
beyond those recommended for conventional
petroleum oils. Its unique synthetic
formulation and long drain additive system
deliver the best possible engine protection,
cleanliness and performance over extended drain
intervals, reducing vehicle maintenance and
waste oil disposal costs.
Advanced Soot and Wear Control
Formula
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine
Motor Oil is heavily fortified with
detergent/dispersant additives and is naturally
resistant to soot. It keeps soot particles
suspended independently, preventing them from
attaching together to form larger, wear-causing
particles. Viscosity increase is minimized and
soot related wear is controlled.
Maximizes Fuel Economy,
Reduces Oil Consumption and
Emissions
AMSOIL AME has lower volatility (evaporation)
than con-ventional petroleum oils. Because less
oil vapor passes into the combustion chamber,
oil consumption and emissions are reduced.
Lower volatility helps AMSOIL AME retain its
viscosity after high temperature service for
excellent fuel economy and continued dependable
protection.
Excellent Cold Flow
Properties
AMSOIL AME remains fluid down to -44°F. It
eases cold weather starting and provides vital
start-up lubrication to prevent engine wear.
AME outperforms conventional 15W-40 petroleum
oils and greatly minimizes the impact of cold
weather operation.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine
Motor Oil is engineered for use in a wide
variety of light and heavyduty applications,
including over-the-road trucks, off road
construction, marine engines, farm equipment,
mining, industrial (pumps & generators) and
personal automotive or commercial
transportation. It is excellent 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.
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty
Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is recommended
for use in diesel engines and other
applications requiring any of the listed
worldwide specifications and gasoline
engines requiring API SL, SJ, SH… or ACEA
A3.

MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL AME is compatible with conventional and
synthetic motor oils. Mixing AMSOIL motor oils
with other oils, however, will shorten the oil
life expectancy and reduce the performance
benefits. AMSOIL does not support extended
drain intervals where oils have been
mixed.
Aftermarket oil
additives are not
recommended for use with AMSOIL
motor oils.
SERVICE
LIFE
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel Oil is
recommended for extended drain intervals in
unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2) vehicles
or equipment as follows:
Diesel
Engine Service
• Normal
Service — Up to 25,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on
oil analysis.
• Severe
Service — Up to 15,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on
oil analysis.
Gasoline
Engine Service
• In
gasoline engines, oil drain intervals may
be extended up to two times (2X) the OEM*
recommended drain interval (not to exceed
15,000 miles without oil analysis) or one
year, whichever comes first.

Original Equipment Manufacturer
AMSOIL Ea™ and Donaldson
Endurance™ full flow oil filters are
designed for extended drain intervals. They
stop smaller particles, have less
restriction and last longer than regular
filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea
or Donaldson Endurance oil filters.
AMSOIL
Ea By-pass oil
filters are specialized for the removal of
small, wear-causing dirt particles, thereby
extending engine life. AMSOIL encourages using
an AMSOIL Ea By-pass filter system for maximum
engine and oil life.

(715-395-0222) is a division of AMSOIL that
provides cost-effective, quality oil
analysis services.
