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-turbo charged
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, turbo charged 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.
