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.
