(AME)

Engineered for all types of diesel engines
with an emphasis on modern, low emission heavy duty diesel
engines. High 12 TBN controls acids from combustion blow-by and
EGR. High levels of detergency and dispersancy additives
control soot thickening, oxidation and wear. Resists bore
polishing, deposit formation and ring sticking. Provides clean
engine performance. Extended drain capabilities reduce downtime
and motor oil expenses.

PRODUCT
DESCRIPTION AMSOIL
Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil (AME)
is a premium diesel oil providing excellent performance
in all types of diesel engines where highly effective
control of wear and deposits is vital. Built with
heavy-duty dispersant/detergent additives, its 12 TBN
chemistry neutralizes acids and controls soot thickening
from EGR and blow-by to protect against corrosion,
cylinder bore polishing (wear) and varnish/sludge
deposits. AMSOIL AME resists heat and breakdown better
than conventional petroleum oils for long lasting
performance and protection.
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.
Extends Drain
Intervals
AMSOIL AME can extend drain intervals far beyond those
recommended for conventional petroleum oils. Its unique
synthetic formulation and long drain additive system deliver
the best possible engine protection, cleanliness and
performance over extended drain intervals, reducing vehicle
maintenance and waste oil disposal costs.
Advanced Soot and
Wear Control Formula
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is
heavily fortified with detergent/dispersant additives and is
naturally resistant to soot. It keeps soot particles suspended
independently, preventing them from attaching together to form
larger, wear-causing particles. Viscosity increase is minimized
and soot related wear is controlled.
Maximizes Fuel
Economy, Reduces Oil Consumption and Emissions
AMSOIL AME has lower volatility (evaporation) than
con-ventional petroleum oils. Because less oil vapor passes
into the combustion chamber, oil consumption and emissions are
reduced. Lower volatility helps AMSOIL AME retain its viscosity
after high temperature service for excellent fuel economy and
continued dependable protection.
Excellent Cold
Flow Properties
AMSOIL AME remains fluid down to -44°F. It eases cold weather
starting and provides vital start-up lubrication to prevent
engine wear. AME outperforms conventional 15W-40 petroleum oils
and greatly minimizes the impact of cold weather
operation.

APPLICATIONS
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine Motor Oil is
engineered for use in a wide variety of light and heavyduty
applications, including over-the-road trucks, off road
construction, marine engines, farm equipment, mining,
industrial (pumps & generators) and personal automotive or
commercial transportation. It is excellent for use with low or
high sulfur diesel fuels in standard, turbocharged or
supercharged engines, including modern low emission diesels
such as those equipped with EGR systems.
AMSOIL Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel & Marine
Motor Oil is recommended for use in diesel engines and other
applications requiring any of the listed worldwide
specifications and gasoline engines requiring API SL, SJ,
SH… or ACEA A3.

MIXING AMSOIL
AMSOIL AME 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 Synthetic Heavy Duty Diesel &
Marine Motor Oil is recommended for extended drain intervals in
unmodified(1), mechanically sound(2)
vehicles or equipment as follows:
Personal
Light Truck Diesel Engine Service
•
Normal Service(3) -- Up to
25,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer
based on oil analysis.
•
Severe Service(4) -- Up to
15,000 miles or one year, whichever comes first, or longer
based on oil analysis.
•
Replace AMSOIL Ea™ full flow oil filter at the time of oil
change up to 25,000 miles (other brands at standard OEM*
intervals).
Commercial
or Fleet Vehicles, Long-Haul Trucks, Marine Craft, RV, Off-Road
Equipment
•
Non-EGR equipped diesels -- extend drain
intervals up to two times (2X) the OEM* recommended drain
interval or one year, whichever comes first, or longer
based on oil analysis.
•
EGR equipped or low emission diesels --
extend drain intervals based on oil analysis or use the
longest drain recommendation of the OEM*.
•
Replace Donaldson Endurance™ or AMSOIL Ea™ full flow oil
filters at the time of oil change up to two times (2X)
longer than the OEM* standard interval, not to exceed
60,000 miles in long-haul trucks.
Gasoline
Engine Service
• In
gasoline engines, oil drain intervals may be extended up to
two times (2X) the OEM* recommended drain interval (not to
exceed 15,000 miles without oil analysis) or one year,
whichever comes first. Replace AMSOIL Ea™ full flow filter
at the time of oil change up to 25,000 miles. Replace other
brand oil filters at standard OEM*
intervals.
*OEM =
Original Equipment Manufacturer
(1) Engines operating under modified conditions
are excluded from extended drain recommendations. Examples
include the use of performance computer chips; non-OEM approved
exhaust, fuel or air induction systems; and the use of fuels
other than those recommended for normal operation by the
manufacturer.
(2) Engines are in good working condition and
within the factory design settings. Mechanically sound engines,
for example, do not leak oil or consume excessive amounts, are
not worn out, do not overheat, do not have internal or external
anti-freeze leaks and have a properly working emission control
system. AMSOIL recommends repairs be made to malfunctioning
engines prior to the installation of AMSOIL synthetic
oils.
(3) Personal transportation vehicles frequently
traveling greater than 10 miles (16 km) at a time and not
operating under severe service.
(4) Extensive engine idling, daily short trip
driving less than 10 miles (16 km), frequent towing, plowing,
hauling heavy loads or dusty-condition
driving.
AMSOIL Ea™
and Donaldson Endurance™ full flow oil filters are designed for
extended drain intervals. They stop smaller particles, have
less restriction and last longer than regular filters. For best
performance, use AMSOIL Ea or Donaldson Endurance oil
filters.
AMSOIL
by-pass oil filters are specialized for the removal of small,
wear-causing dirt particles, thereby extending engine life.
AMSOIL encourages using an AMSOIL bypass filter system for maximum
engine and oil life.
