AMSOIL Synthetic 10W-30/SAE 30 Heavy Duty Diesel Oil
Outperforms Conventional Diesel Oils
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.
APPLICATIONS
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, including modern
low emission diesels such as those equipped with EGR systems.
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:
Personal Light Truck Diesel Engine Service
• Normal Service(3) — Up to 25,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
• Severe Service(4) — Up to 15,000 miles or one year,
whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
• Replace AMSOIL Ea™ full flow oil filter or Donaldson
Endurance™ ELF 7349 at the time of oil change up to 25,000
miles (other brands at standard OEM* intervals).
• Non-EGR equipped diesels — extend drain intervals
up to two times (2X) the OEM* recommended drain interval or
one year, whichever comes first, or longer based on oil analysis.
• EGR equipped or low emission diesels — extend drain
intervals based on oil analysis or use the OEM* recommended
interval.
• Replace Donaldson Endurance™ or AMSOIL Ea™
full flow oil filters at the time of oil change up to two
times (2X) longer than the OEM* standard interval, not to
exceed 60,000 miles in long-haul trucks.
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. Replace AMSOIL Ea™ full flow filter at the
time of oil change up to 25,000 miles. Replace other brand oil
filters at standard OEM* intervals.
*OEM = Original Equipment Manufacturer
(1) Where the engine or operating conditions
have been modified from the original manufacturers' design, no
oil change interval recommendation is made. Oil change intervals
are at the owner's discretion. Examples include the use of performance
computer chips; modified exhaust, fuel or air induction systems
and the use of fuels other than those recommended for normal operation
by the manufacturers.
(2) Engines are in good working condition and
within the factory design settings. Mechanically sound engines,
for example, do not leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are
not worn out, do not overheat, do not have internal or external
anti-freeze leaks and have a properly working emission control
system. AMSOIL recommends repairs be made to malfunctioning engines
prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic oils.
(3) Personal transportation vehicles frequently
traveling greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not operating
under severe service.
(4) Extensive engine idling, daily short trip
driving less than 10 miles (16 km), frequent towing, plowing or
hauling heavy loads and frequent driving in dusty conditions.
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 by-pass oil filters are specialized for
the removal of small, wear-causing dirt particles, thereby extending
engine life. AMSOIL encourages using an AMSOIL by-pass filter
system for maximum engine and oil life.
