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.
