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 qualifies
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.
PERFORMANCE
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,
all off-road engines and pre-2007 on-road
engines.
• SAE 10W-30 performance
without VI improvers
• Cost-effective replacement for conventional
oils
• Excellent shear stability
• Outstanding wear protection
• Superior protection over a broad range of
operating temperatures
• Extended service life with oil analysis

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 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 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.
