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.

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.
