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-turbocharged 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, turbocharged
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.
