PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL 5W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil (DEO) 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 5W-40
Synthetic Diesel Oil exceeds the higher performance demands of modern
engines. It withstands the stress of heat, soot and acids to help
prevent deposits, wear and corrosion. AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-40 is wax-free
with a broad viscosity range to provide exceptional cold-weather
starting and high-temperature protection. It resists breakdown and
offers maximum fuel efficiency over extended drain intervals.
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.
Meets
Emission System Requirements
AMSOIL 5W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil is a low-sulfated ash formulation that
exceeds the requirements for low-emission quality diesel oil. 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 5W-40 Diesel Oil can extend drain intervals far beyond
those recommended for conventional petroleum oils. Its unique synthetic
formulation and long-drain additive system (10.4 TBN) deliver superior
engine protection, cleanliness and performance over extended drain
intervals. AMSOIL 5W-40 Synthetic Diesel Oil provides maximum protection
for up to 3X the OEM-recommended drain interval and even further with
oil analysis. As seen in the graphs, AMSOIL Premium Diesel Oil provided
both superior TBN and viscosity retention over 400 hours of
severe-service operation.
Improves
Fuel Economy
The advanced synthetic technology used to engineer AMSOIL Premium 5W-40
Diesel Oil enhances viscosity properties and is proven to deliver better
fuel economy. In fact, the Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA)
Federal Test Procedure confirms that AMSOIL 5W-40 Diesel Oil provides up
to 3 percent better fuel economy than conventional 15W-40 diesel oils.
At a mix of 55 percent city/45 percent highway driving, the average
improvement is 1.6 percent and at straight highway driving the average
improvement is 1.25 percent.
Minimizes
Oil Consumption and Emissions
Due to its low rate of volatility (burn-off), AMSOIL 5W-40 Synthetic
Diesel Oil is able to reduce oil consumption and emissions during
operation. Lower volatility helps AMSOIL Premium Diesel Oil retain its
viscosity after high-temperature service for dependable protection and
excellent fuel economy.
Controls
Soot-Thickening and Wear
The advanced synthetic base oils in AMSOIL 5W-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.
APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Premium CJ-4 Synthetic 5W-40 Diesel Oil is recommended for diesel
engines and, where appropriate, gasoline engines requiring any of the
following specifications:
•
SAE 5W-40 • API CJ-4, CI-4+, CF, SM
• ACEA E7, E9 • Mack EO-O Premium Plus
• DDC Power Guard 93K218
• Caterpillar ECF-3, ECF-2 • Cummins 20081
• Volvo VDS-4 • MB 228.31 • MTU Type I & II
• MAN 3275 • JASO DH-2 • Global DHD-1
• Renault RLD-3
COMPATIBILITY
AMSOIL Synthetic 5W-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 5W-40 Diesel Oil (DEO) 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 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.
