PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil (DME) is the premium choice
for API CJ-4 emission-quality diesel oil required by model-year 2007 and
newer diesel engines. It delivers extraordinary lubrication in diesel
engines found in commercial, fleet and personal vehicles. Built with the
latest additive and synthetic base oil technology, AMSOIL Premium
Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil exceeds the higher performance demands of
modern engines. It withstands the stress of heat, soot and acids to help
prevent deposits, corrosion and wear. AMSOIL, the leader in automotive
synthetic lubrication, produced the world’s first API-qualified
synthetic motor oil in 1972. Trust the extensive experience of AMSOIL,
The First in Synthetics,® to do the best job protecting your engine.
Exceeds
Emission System Requirements
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil is a low-sulfated ash formulation
that provides excellent performance in low-emission diesel engines. It
is compatible with all exhaust treatment devices and is designed to
extend the service life of diesel particulate filters (DPF).
Extended
Drain Performance
AMSOIL Premium 15W-40 Diesel Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond
those recommended for conventional petroleum oils. Its unique synthetic
formulation and longdrain additive system (10.4 TBN) deliver superior
engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain
intervals. AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil provides
maximum protection for up to 3X the OEM-recommended drain interval, and
further with oil analysis.
Controls
Soot-Thickening and Wear
The advanced synthetic base oils in AMSOIL 15W-40 Diesel Oil are
naturally resistant to soot contamination. That, along with a heavy
fortification of detergent/dispersant additives, keeps soot particles
suspended independently, helping prevent the formation of larger,
wear-causing particles. Viscosity increase is minimized and soot-related
wear is
controlled.
Superior
Shear Stability, Reduced Oil Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil has lower volatility (burn-off) than
conventional petroleum oils. Because less oil vapor passes into the
combustion chamber, oil consumption and emissions are reduced. Lower
volatility helps AMSOIL Premium Diesel Oil retain its viscosity after
high-temperature service for continued dependable protection.
Ideal
for Fleets
AMSOIL Premium 15W-40 Diesel Oil reduces operating costs through
extended drain intervals. It is engineered for a wide range of
applications, allowing fleet operators to consolidate engine oil
inventories in mixed fleets. In addition, it reduces downtime through
extended drain intervals and improved equipment protection.

COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil 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 Premium API CJ-4 Synthetic 15W-40 Diesel Oil (DME) is recommended
for extended drain intervals in engines that are unmodified and in good
operating condition.
Diesel
Engine Service
- Three times (3X) OEM* recommendation, not to exceed 50,000
miles/600 hours or one year, whichever comes first. Drain intervals
may be extended further with oil analysis.
- 2007-2009 Caterpillar C13 and C15 on-highway engines must follow
OEM-recommended drain interval.
- 2007-Present Dodge, Ford and GM light-duty diesel pickups must
follow OEM-recommended drain interval. Drain intervals may be
extended with oil analysis.
Gasoline
Engine Service
- Two times (2X) OEM* recommendation, not to exceed 15,000 miles or
one year, whichever comes first.
*Operating
conditions and drain intervals for normal and severe service are defined
by the OEM. Refer to your owner’s manual.
Note:
Extended drain intervals are not recommended when using biofuels
containing >10% ethanol or 5% biodiesel (B5). Follow OEM drain
intervals or extend drain intervals with oil analysis.
