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.
AMSOIL 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.

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.
