PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL
Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor
Oil (PCO) features a dual-base of premium
synthetic and hydro-processed base oils
in formulation with proven high quality
anti-wear additives. This multi-use oil
is designed for both heavy-duty diesel
engines (including modern EGR units) and
gasoline engines, combining versatility
and heavy-duty engine protection into one
cost effective motor oil. It is
formulated with high levels of dispersant
and detergent additives that effectively
control acids and soot thickening to
prevent corrosion, wear and deposits.
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty
Motor Oil is excellent for all season use
in on- or off-road
applications.
Maximizes Fuel
Economy, Minimizes Oil Consumption and
Emissions
The synthetic base oil component in AMSOIL PCO
reduces oil volatility (burn-off). Less make-up
oil is required to replace volatilized oil and
less oil vapor gets into the exhaust stream.
Oil viscosity increase is controlled, which
minimizes drag for better
efficiency.
Improved Extreme
Temperature Performance
Unlike other semi-synthetic oils, AMSOIL PCO
contains a high content of quality synthetic
oils for enhanced performance. Heat and
oxidation resistance are improved for clean
engine operation and long lasting engine oil
service life. Dependable cold-temperature flow
is assured for easier start-up and improved
post start-up protection.

Appropriate
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 fulfills the
requirements of most public and private
purchasing bids. It is API CI-4 Plus/SL,
Detroit Diesel PowerGuard 93K214 and Mack EO-N
Premium Plus '03 registered, making it ideal
where these registrations are
required.

MIXING
AMSOIL
AMSOIL PCO 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 Blend 15W-40 Heavy Duty Motor
Oil is recommended for use according to the
longest service interval established by the
engine, vehicle or equipment manufacturer.
Drain intervals may be extended based on
oil analysis.
AMSOIL Ea™
full flow and Donaldson Endurance™ oil filters
are designed for extended drain intervals. They
capture more wear-causing particles, have less
restriction and last longer than regular
filters. For best performance, use AMSOIL Ea
full-flow or Donaldson Endurance oil
filters.
HEALTH &
SAFETY
This product is not expected to cause health
concerns when used for the intended application
and according to the recommendations in the
