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.

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, 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
PERFORMANCE AMSOIL ACD is recommended for 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 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 at the time of oil change
up to 25,000 miles (other brands at standard
OEM*
intervals).
Commercial or
Fleet Vehicles, Long-Haul Trucks, Marine Craft,
RV, Off-Road Equipment
• 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 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.
