PRODUCT 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.
