SAE 15W-40 Synthetic Blend Diesel Oil
Engineered for all types of diesel engines with an emphasis on modern,
low emission heavy-duty diesel engines. High 12 TBN controls acids from
blow-by and EGR. High levels of detergency and dispersancy additives
control soot thickening, oxidation and wear. Prevents bore polishing,
deposit formation, and ring sticking. Provides clean engine performance.
Extended drain capabilities reduce downtime and motor oil expenses.
Global performance specifications include: API CI-4+/SL/CF/CF-2,
EO-N+03', DHD-1, ECF-1, VDS-3

Exceeds All Performance Requirements
of Light and Heavy-Duty Diesel Engines

PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Diesel Oil is a modern blend of high
performance synthetic base stocks, natural base stocks, and advanced
additives. It provides outstanding performance and protection over
extended drain intervals in light and heavy-duty diesel engines.
Remains Stable
at Temperature Extremes
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 does not change viscosity (thicken or
thin) at temperature extremes like conventional motor oils. With its
advanced semi-synthetic formulation, AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 is
significantly more shear stable than conventional oils, retaining its
viscosity at temperatures and loads that break down conventional motor
oils.
Resists
Oxidation - Reduces Engine Wear
Conventional oils oxidize at high temperatures, causing sludge and
deposit build-up that decrease fuel efficiency, contribute to corrosion,
and increase engine wear. AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Motor Oil
resists oxidation and thermal breakdown far better than conventional
oils. It continues to lubricate, cool and protect at temperatures that
oxidize conventional oils. In addition, the advanced heat transfer
capabilities and high lubricity of AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 help
engines run cooler with less wear.
Extended Drain
Intervals
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 is formulated for extended drain
intervals. Its unique synthetic formulation, excellent
detergent/dispersant capabilities, and long drain additive package
ensure maximum engine protection, cleanliness, and performance over
extended drain periods. In fact, 12 TBN AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40
Motor Oil keeps engines in "like-new" condition even when the oil is
used for extended service intervals.
Improves Cold
Weather Performance
Due to their wax content, conventional oils thicken in cold
temperatures and, on cold starts, may take as long as five minutes to
lubricate internal engine parts. AAMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 stays
fluid at very low temperatures. It circulates rapidly to provide vital
lubrication and prevent engine wear caused by lack of oil flow. AMSOIL
Synthetic Blend 15W-40 allows quicker, easier cold temperature starting
with less engine wear.
Reduces Oil
Consumption
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 is low volatility oil. 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 Blend
15W-40 also helps reduce oil consumption.
Improves Fuel
Economy and Reduces Emissions
The premium quality synthetic base oil in AMSOIL Synthetic Blend
15W-40 provides a tough lubricating film on all engine parts, reducing
friction and fuel consumption. Reducing fuel consumption reduces exhaust
emissions.
Protects Against
Rust and Corrosion
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 contains special
rust-inhibiting additives. It is ideal for use in engines used
intermittently.
MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 is compatible with petroleum
and synthetic lubricants; however, mixing the AMSOIL with other oils
will shorten the extended drain period. Oil additives or after-market
products are not recommended for use with AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40
Motor Oil.
APPLICATION
AMSOIL Synthetic Blend 15W-40 Diesel Oil is
recommended in applications specifying the following:
- API CI-4+, CH-4, CF, CF-2, SL
- ACEA A3, B3, E3, E5
- Global DHD-1
- Mack EO-M+, EO-N Premium Plus 03
- DDC Power Guard 93K214
- Caterpillar ECF-1
- Cummins CES 20071, 20072, 20076, 20077, 20078
- Volvo VDS2, VDS3
- MB 228.1, 228.3, 229.1, 229.3, 229.5
- MAN 271, 3275
SERVICE LIFE
Light-duty diesel engines, non-turbocharged diesel engines,
heavy-duty diesel engines, turbocharged diesel engines, fleet vehicle
engines and industrial engines: drain oil at intervals up to two times
longer than those recommended by the engine manufacturer, or 6 months,
whichever comes first if extended drains are supported by the findings
of a used oil analysis program.
Personal car and light truck
non-turbocharged gasoline engines: drain oil at intervals up to two
times longer than those recommended by the engine manufacturer or one
year, whichever comes first.
Non-commercial, turbocharged passenger
car gasoline four-cycle engines, motorcycles, small off-road four-cycle
gasoline engines, marine craft engines and infrequently used four-cycle
gasoline automotive engines: use engine manufacturer's oil drain
recommendations.
High-performance or racing engines: drain
oil at intervals determined by the findings of a used oil analysis
program.
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 Oil Filters at 7,000 miles or
six months, whichever comes first. Change other manufacturers' filters
at the engine manufacturer's recommended filter change intervals.
